Please mark my words, I will get there someday,

swear I'll never stop fighting

swear I'll never give way.

Looks are deceiving and they always will be,

I am art trapped in crew cut hair

and pretty polished teeth.

These thoughts, the things that will drive me insane,

I am itching to evacuate

this neverending game.

"You don't understand! You're only a teen-"

my patience with society

is tearing at the seams.

"Don't waste your time! Just study real hard..."

will schooling get me anywhere

with all my dreams in shards?

Let me be myself, stop getting in my way;

these concrete walls are closing in

I'll be flattened any day.

I just need to escape, yes I need to be free,

I'll scream it from the rooftops

and I'll bring you to your knees.

So here's to the outcasts! For we'll never fit in,

but sometime soon we'll break away

and then at last, we'll win.
