&quot;You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust i&#039;ll rise&quot; - unknown<br /> &quot;no matter how far you go down the wrong path, you can always turn back&quot;<br /> &quot;once you hit rock bottom, theres nowhere to go but up&quot;

My mind’s completely twisted
But it’s not increase of insanity-
It’s from running and escaping
The teens trying to damage me.
Guns loaded with labels
Pitchforks composed of lies,
The misfits run faster,
Their torches crackle cries.
No matter how far you run,
There will always be gossip
Just hold your head higher-
Don’t let those tears drip.
