Just Another Emo Kid

I walk down the crowded halls

Nobody notices me.

I walk alone, book in hand

And nobody can see.

The pain I hold back

The cuts under my clothes.

The depression expressed

But nobody knows.

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

I'm labeled a freak

A total disgrace.

To human nature

I don't belong in this place.

Their words do sting

But not a word I say.

I just give in

Let them have it their way.

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

They talk about me

And they think I don't know.

How their cruel games

Of torment go.

I've seen the pain

They put people through

But there's nothing I can do.

After all,

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

My own family disapproves

Of the way I am.

To them I'm wrong

And forever damned.

I have no one to turn to

No one to care.

No one to stop the pain

Because no one is there.

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

My friends don't know

And I won't tell.

How I must live

In this daily hell.

They see me smile

They don't know that it's fake.

But they can't see

how my heart just wants to break.

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

I hate to be hurt

Yet I cause myself pain.

I cut myself daily

They think I'm insane.

They think I have no emotion

I'm just hollow inside.

But I do feel

I'd just rather hide.

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

What's the point

In showing how you feel?

It just ends up in a heartbreak

It always will.

And who could ever love

Somebody like me?

An emo boy,

A nobody?

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

But there is one boy

He holds my heart.

He picked me up

When I fell apart.

He promised he loved me

I believe that it's true.

Something is holding me back

I'm not sure what to do?

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.

I'm of no importance.

I feel nothing.

I'm a pushover.

I'm just another emo kid.

To them...

I'm just a shadow of greater people.

I'm just a nobody.

A reflection shattered.

To them...

I'm just another emo kid.
