Just To Be Different

I was bullied for not being the same as others Laughed at and ridiculed, you couldn't imagine the pain I suffered But I opened my mind and I started to see different Now I do certain things Just to be different I was born Bipolar but back then I didn't know that But I Wouldn't change a thing if I could go back That's a lie, because we'd all change a few things My journey includes Blood, pain and loss, but I had to go through that in order to get new wings I used to hide my arms because I didn't want my self-harm secrets revealed But with so many people around it gets difficult to conceal I managed for a year and a half, before it all came out No one understood when I said I do it in order to heal Foster families and children's homes, because I wasn't important to my parents Spent all day either playing football or writing lyrics with my earphones blaring At 20 I put the blade down and haven't picked it up since But Nightmares occur still, so if you're cutting a piece of cake I may flinch I Never cared for the latest phones I used to go to the strip club every weekend, Until I realised it was better having a special girl naked at home I hope none of my ex girls take offence to that line Maybe I should think before I write some of my rhymes But I refuse to be censored by anyone including myself If I don't show my whole heart in my poetry then it can't really be felt I've lost a few rounds But I always find a way to beat the opponent My biggest strength is overcoming all of my weakest moments I used to get Bullied for not being the same as others After reading this you know some of the pain I suffered Once I opened my mind and started to see different I realised it's better to be different
