Surviving Bullying

Hate to see that frame 
And know that my face ain't the same
Cuz I know I am dying slowly 
And lonely 
But that's just the truth 
Sometimes I wish I could re-do

Myself 
Cuz I would create a strong shell 
To protect myself 

Yeah, there was too much weight 
That I wanted to escape 
From 
But there gotta be some
People who beat hell out of me
Yeah, cuz they want me to be 
Something that isn't me

Yeah, tell you this
Sometimes I miss
My smile
Cuz as I walked the mile
I realized 
That the file had real lies
As I begin to look at the lines

My tears made me go blind
And erased 
My smile I had in my face 
Yeah, as people in my school
Who were trying to act cool 
Told me to go commit suicide 

I took a side 
And that slid
To realize that if I committed suicide 

My whole family would cry
And as I visualize 
No! I won't kill myself 
Cuz I am here for a purpose 
And those who thought 

I was worthless 
End it up plotting dots
Yeah, hate to know
That I could've save myself 

But I was too focus on my fears
That made me drop tears
Yeah, every night I had nightmares 
That turned up my fears
To speak up

Tell you this 
Sometimes I just wanted to disappear 
And appear
In a lonely world
Where I could feel that happiness 
But what happens
When you are so, focused 
On the fears 
Makes your spirit 
Get the ticket 
To know that if you speak 
Yeah you will kicked 
And picked 
But though I was split 

I begin to flip coins 
And take turns 
To see if that would change the things 
But it did nothing 


Not till that day 
The sky was gray

Yeah, this bullies 
Were behind me 
Yeah I ran fast so, they don't find me
But they got me 
And began to kick me
And pick me 

Yeah, that's where I realized 
In my own eye's 
That I had to fight back

Yeah, they got that smack 
Didn't care if my bones cracked 
But they got that smack 

Cuz I as tired that I acted weak 
Cuz I didn't speak

And after that day I realized 
That there was hope 
In surface 
And yeah I begin to face 

The fears
And the doors of happiness 
Begin to appear
