I am not wrong

I am not wrong 
stop saying that I am
this is not on me 
the issue is with them
I did not yell 
or even raise my voice
I did what I should
but how was that the right choice
Im just supposed to sit there
and listen to them put me down 
they now do it 
no matter who else is around 
I cant be the only one 
that sees whats happening here
but they all just sit there 
grinning ear to ear
when we get back home 
One by one they'll call 
"I just wanted to check on you
That was not nice at all"
Then why did you just sit there
and watch it all unfold 
you are such a coward 
nothing about you is bold
They will watch me get thrown down
Time and time again
and never say a word 
Because its not happening to them 
Nobody wants to make any waves
But im drowning in the sea
They will watch me die 
before getting wet to rescue me
