I don't know what I do wrong,
I try so hard to fit in, but I don't belong.
All these groups and these cliques,
Tear me down like a stack of bricks.
I get used to the neglect,
Every kid shows me a lack of respect.
So I remain to myself,
Learned to ignore everyone else.
If I can't fit in,
Did my life ever begin?
I'm always getting stuck at home,
So I sit in my bedroom all alone.
I cry with my head buried in my pillow,
All I want is for someone to say hello.
I'm starting to get used to this,
Just a kid that nobody will miss.
But before I give up, I just need to know society,
Why did you have to choose me?
I can't decipher on how to make friends,
I've never had one that didn't pretend.
All I've been is used and hurt,
Didn't know to live it would be this much work.
I'm not gonna be the person everybody wants,
Always honest, but everyone else lies upfront.
I stay concealed behind my wall,
Broken and crumbled, ready to fall.
If I can't fit in,
Did my life ever begin?
I'm always getting stuck at home,
So I sit in my bedroom all alone.
I cry with my head buried in my pillow,
All I want is for someone to say hello.
I'm starting to get used to this,
Just a kid that nobody will miss.
But before I give up, I just need to know society,
Why did you have to choose me?
I have not a reason to live anymore,
Heartbeats are limited, veins so sore.
With every breath I gasp for, each inhale I take,
I realize not giving up sooner was my only mistake.
By the time you read this I will be dead and gone,
My body will be lifeless when you awake at dawn.
No need to mourn as I know you don't really care,
Save the tears, in my life you were never there.
As you stand over and stare at my cold, draining body,
Remember that I won't be missed, and for this blessing, you can thank society...

You're important to this world. Do not let society define otherwise. You have something to live for.
