Feel Proud To Be Who You Are

Everyone hates me, I can feel it I can see the look of despise in their eyes. The way they snicker when I walk by Gives an eerie feeling of shame to my inner self. Hold your head up high little one A look of despise is a look of jealousy No need to feel so helpless Feel proud to be who you are A push into the depths of hatred Reveals a cut to add to this shameful life A giggle to my name Reveals a heart being destroyed. Hold your head up high little one Don’t let them take you to the depths of hatred No need to feel so helpless Feel proud to be who you are. Nasty rumors take flight through the air Making a tear of loneliness slither down my face. Slander written through pieces of literature Creates a stabbing sensation through my already shattered heart. Hold your head up high little one Rumors are from those whom wish they were like you No need to feel so helpless Feel proud to be who you are. My shattered heart can’t take anymore I feel so still and lonely My tears of hurt and anger fall no more Because I have dried away the shame and despise. Hold your head up high little one Your shattered heart will soon start to heal. No need to feel so helpless Feel proud to be who you are. I am holding my head high now The jealousy now all makes sense My heart is rebuilt and my inner self is starting to glow I am PROUD to be who I am. Hold your head high little one I told you that time would heal the pain No need to feel so helpless Feel proud to be who you are.
