it's always the same and it can't be taken away with a drink of champagne.

Every day, staring, undermining, do they believe I have no brain?

On the train, I see people like them, and they see me, it's a drain.

It can't be stopped, it's my bane, it gets under my veins.

Every day, I think of fighting back, but that would end with nothing but pain.


Oh, Jade, you're a ditz.

Oh, Jade, you're beautiful.

Oh, Jade, you're truly ugly.

Oh, Jade, you're too fat.

Oh, Jade, umm... I have to go away!


Last night, my local grocery man asked me out, he's 69, I'm barely 19.

Father doesn't mention me, all I did is love a woman instead of a man.

My brother, Billie was born with level 3, that doesn't change a thing.

My girl, Kayla and I are happier than ever without you, goodbye.

Mother, lost her at five, my sister at seven. Why them, I'm here?


Oh, Jade, it's just a phase.

Oh, Jade, your mummy will be okay.

Oh, Jade, you need a good man.

Oh, Jade, I hate you like your brother.

Oh, Jade, to hell with you!


My Girl, we are everything together, you, me, our lives are complete.

Kayla, I'm with her, every day, every night, I never want to leave.

I'm by her side, I can't lose her.

I'm scared she will betray me; I don't want us to turn into Bill and Beatrix.

I'm sorry, I care for her too much. I've been betrayed many times too far.


Oh, Jade, things will always end up okay.

Oh, Jade, I love you like a love song.

Oh, Jade, I promise I will never leave you.

Oh, Jade, I will always keep you safe.

Oh, Jade, I need you!


My Father isn't going to go from Saul to Paul.

He is a Satan for life, hell if I care.

Going to get bad karma, no nirvana.

Was the man who sold my world, no core inside?

His chest is a Heart-Shaped Box, no brain either.


Oh, Jade, you need to move on.

Oh, Jade, you're too sensitive.

Oh, Jade, you're such a disappointment.

Oh, Jade, that isn't what I taught you.

Oh, Jade, go away!


Billie is the only person I can ever trust.

When the whole world is guilty, he will be innocent.

He's my Lennie, I'm George, people try to put him down.

Billie, I'm sorry, I try to help him "Your Autism doesn't devalue you".

Try to make him see that things will be okay.


Oh, Jade, thank you.

Oh, Jade, you make me feel loved.

Oh, Jade, you make me feel protected.

Oh, Jade, how can I help you.

Oh, Jade, I need you!


Never got over the loss of my sister

Skye, she was strong and kind, I never could be her.

She was too young, too good. It should have been someone else.

Fell at thirteen, I was seven, my memories are blurring.

I never really got to know her, she's somewhere far away.


Oh, Jade, I will protect you.

Oh, Jade, I will keep you safe.

Oh, Jade, I promise Dad doesn't mean it.

Oh, Jade, are you okay?

Oh, Jade, I promise you will be safe!


We can be happy, I know so

I need to go far away.

Things might be okay.

I'm trying to get some stronger meds.

I dream, far too much.


Oh, Jade, things won't get better.

Oh, Jade, you're a terrible person

Oh, Jade, shut up.

Oh, Jade, someone wants to hurt you.

Oh, Jade, some will kill you!


Every day I look for enlightenment, I can't find it.

I'm meditating, it ain't working,

What can I do? Am I dumb? Am I too skinny? Am I too fat? Who am I?

Is Father right? Am I too sensitive? Am I messed up? Am I weak?

Am I going to make it past twenty-seven, what will finally take me out?


Oh, Jade, you're truly ugly!

Oh, Jade, to hell with you!

Oh, Jade, I don't need you!

Oh, Jade, you're such a disappointment!

Oh, Jade, Help!

Oh, Jade, Dad means it!


I have Kayla, I have Billie

The people who hurt me, I can't let them get close.

I'm probably a good person, insecurity can destroy me.

I think things will be okay.

There's a chance at a good future.

I just need to stay safe.
