How can I live in this world when I have so much to say but no one's there to listen?
How can I live in this world when I must open my ears and just accept whatever shit they try to put in my head?
How can I live in this world when i must shut the fuck up and silent my opinion?
How can I live in this world, this place where I don't seem to belong or even matter?
Society wants to dictate me my life, what I like and who I am.
So many choose to go with the flow, but I don't.
I refuse to have my life between the hands of this insane, filthy and fucked up society!
They want me to be a certain person, but I can't be just like them.
I refuse to be just like them.
I am me, and no one else.
But they can't seem to understand that.
They don't understand anything!
People just don't even try to understand...
Everyone is bullying me.
In a way or another.
Family, friends, other teens, even my teachers.
They can't stand who I am.
And I've come to hate myself.
I truly hate the person I am, as much as I hate them all.
I hate them so much, I hate them!
I hate this whole fucking mad world I'm stuck in.
How can I keep going on like this?
I can't seem to carry on.
How much time can I still hold on before I break?
There's no escape for me.
There's no escape.
