Pick On Me
Common reaction occur in most
they fit you in and bond you close
those similarities meet expectations
I’m unfamiliar in situations
So I stand out and people notice
makes me a target for jokers
assumptions always go with stupid
they humiliate the dumb kid
I grew up as this repeated
getting judged then mistreated
attention that left me deflated
for getting noticed I grew hatred
But I learned from repetition
patterns indicate intentions
minds are placed in my direction
testing leads to destinations
The destination is the laughter
social acceptance comes thereafter
at my expense while I am laughed at
now I’m grown you shouldn’t do that
Not because I will hurt you
nor will I avenge the plot
I just know what you are up to
as it happens quite a lot
Most people would call them out
speaking out to stop the process
let them know what they’re about
not me though allowing progress
because I’ve seen all this before
they’re always the insecure
with egos shrinking miniature
get me the egos restored
people communicate a sequence
they see then realise and they watch
the extra interest easily sensed
then actively test what I’ve got
And I’ve learned to lead them on
show them their judgement ain’t wrong
if I’m oblivious they’ll go again
in front of others to show them
And in a room in view of all
they’ll do what they did before
acting cocky feeling assured
and that is when they’ll look fooled
I’ll lead you to the trophy
let you put one hand on it
before it’s rip unknowingly
and you look like an idiot
In front people you got watching
the ones who heard you mocking me
that last second loss is shocking
humiliated purposely
The ones who play this game ain’t nice
they try it once but never twice
in their heart they’re cold as ice
they thought I’m here to sacrifice
