Laugh It Off

It's not easy being me At 16 the seniors life is far from heavenly I'm ranked as a minor and portrayed as a thug A young man just trying to make it in the world The social network has me on the low grid Just a "Wana Be" trying to come up and get big It's all good i shrug and laugh it off Constant pounding irons out the soft Small comments truly don't phase me But even steel bends when beat constantly The mask is cracking and dark is invented And i focus to make sure i don't vent it The anger bred from an under ranked master The rage fed to an underpaid senior It's all good i shrug and laugh it off Hiding the feelings with a quiet cough The past is past i move on and keep my head up Adjusting the mask and still trying to come up I live the life of an outcast Accepted in the area but hoped to move on fast I always look for a way to prove it But it seems that i can't quite do it It's all good i shrug and laugh it off I won't be remembered maybe I'll just "Get Lost"

William, you have a mind of your own and you can do anything you want to. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Be strong. You have to draw strength in yourself. What do you want to be? Ask yourself that and you can be. So don't beat yourself up. You are a good person with something to contribute. God made you that way and He does not make mistake. Love you, Toquyen
