To be honest, I've never been much for apogee and absence
Stick by those I love unless I sense
Something's wrong, they'll hurt me
Please let me go, don't smile at me with so much glee
I'm not yours, I was never meant at such a young age to glow
It's just my problem, I guess, I'm so beautiful to so many
But why, at this young age, does my heart rush when I see a man
I really shouldn't want any
Or was this God's plan
Repeating questions I don't want to answer, zone out of homework and dream of my future life
I only pray, if I may be blessed with a good husband, I'll be sweet, his dream wife
But let's return to math problems and cry about my skill
Studying is like climbing up an endless hill
Always slipping, tripping
When I get bad grades, the hill's tipping
Why, my parents wonder, are my grades so bad
Their constant blame of factors that don't even make sense make me sad
To be honest, I don't know why I'm so stupid, I just don't try
So yell at me, make me cry
I never said I wanted to be educated anyway
Cursing extra work every day
Now, listen, school was fun until 7th grade
That was the grade when everything changed, I had to suffer in silence without any aid
For once, I wondered, 'Who created these bullies? Why can't they just die?"
All this bullying and pressure really did nothing but make me pathetic, I
Never wondered the purpose of someone's existence until then
Stupid adults moving about me like one big fat mother hen
Don't you understand, your arguments of positivity with me, why I should smile and be happy
Just make me less cheerful, make me try hard to pretend to be all peppy
For once, I understood why some people hated life
But, thankfully, I had one beacon in this strife
My kind friends, I don't know if they still like me anymore
But, back then, they opened a glowing golden door
The way to happiness was just love and dreams of cuddles
Keep me alive with promises of sweet feelings of melted chocolate muddles
I've always said cuddles and food are the way to my heart, I don't lie
If I don't get lots of cuddles and food, then it's goodbye
But, then, again, as I embark on a new ship, the challenging one of eighth grade
I wonder far more, what impact on the people around me have I made
I'm entering a new zone after this middle school
Maybe one where I even rule
I've never been much for being popular, nothing attracts boys or girls to me
All the others have a boyfriend, a big house, some possession flying about them like a bee
I'm just one solo girl, sometimes sad without any friends, standing in that tree alone
Bouncing a basketball against the wide bole, I'm a weirdo because I don't play on my phone
Hit my face hard instead of catching the ball, may be bleeding a bit, I don't cry
If I said it didn't hurt, I would sound too bad, and it would be a lie
Undo my hair like I do when I'm sad and let it fly
It's getting higher in life than I'll probably ever be
This is my life so far
Despite what I dream about, I'm no shining star
Hopefully, some day, I'll have a good source of cuddles and food and be happy
But until then, I'll just order some sweets and ask for some cuddles, make it snappy
I wish for a decent life when I grow up, free of strife
But, until then, I'll handle my child life
No taxes but bullying, no work but school, no mortgage but forcing friends
Until all this childhood rapidly ends
This is my life
Why should I not love myself, no matter what they say
Speak my own words, no matter how much the cost may
Hurt or heal me, I don't care, speak what I need to say, love what I want to love
A beautiful yet sometimes dark symbol of peace, like a mourning dove
I'll quickly mature by holding those I love close to my heart
Don't try to rush, but successfully reach adulthood's start
And gain my dreams, hopefully
Gently yet fiercely, I poke the enemies away from me
Try all you want, you can't block my skill and beauty
What do the public think of me? I'm an average girl, eh?
Quickly, rethink that, put your eyes on me and watch carefully
I'll do something you would never imagine me to do, and I'll do it exquisitely
So am I extraordinary now that I achieved something you thought I couldn't do
Well, a million other people may be able to do it, but what about you
Oh, I assumed that since the beginning
You were just jealous, so you yelled at me until it set my ears ringing
Well, thanks for that, you've proven to me some adults are as immature as children my age
Continue being childish, I've already rushed ahead on my road and left you far behind
If this is all actually in my frozen future and it looks beautiful and fun, can I break the ice now
Oh, that's your response, I'm too weak, how
Perhaps I must wait, return to my childhood with a smile on my face
Close this with a satisfied feeling, I'll continue to run my race
Until the next time I see you
Goodbye!
