As the years passed I thought everything was fine
I lived a carefree life, it seemed the world was mine
I could run around catching lightning bugs or play in the park
I could play catch with my friends, or hide and seek in the dark
I knew my parents loved me, I had plenty of friends
I had dreams to change the world, I thought every heart could mend
But now my dreams are shattered as I watch the world around me
Nothing seems right anymore, how could this be?
The birds don’t sing, the tulips have no smell
All I hear is silence, not even the ringing of a bell
Sometimes it hurts to smile, so I look down at my feet
I can’t look someone in the eye, sometimes I can’t eat
Why does the world like to judge? Why can’t I just be me?
I feel like I have to be someone else, why can’t people let me be?
I used to be popular, when I had a problem someone was always there
But now my friends are few and no one seems to care
I used to think I was in love, we caught the same shining star
But he threw my shining star away and broke my little heart
Why do people look at me, why do people stare?
I don’t like to be different, why do they even care?
