Is it true?
Experience life through the eyes of a child
Then we will be able to see all the magic and wonder what the world has to offer
BUT...
I don't remember seeing anything magical when I was a child
That was when it all began
The Pain
She walked away with my sister without an explanation
Did I do something wrong?
My father swore that we'd be together forever
In the end he couldn't do anything
That was the only time I had seen him so powerless
He insisted that it wasn't, but I couldn't help but wonder...
Was I a bad kid?
Was it my fault?
That they left
''We'll be happy again.''
My father told me...
''Be Strong''
So I started telling myself
Everything is going to be okay
I'm going to be happy again
But why is everyone being so cold to me?
Please. Just tell me why.
Why are the doing this to me?
What have I done wrong to be treated like this?
I wanted to make friends
But they all pushed me away
What went wrong?
Why won't anybody tell me?
They tell me to go away.
That nobody wants me here.
Not here.
Not anywhere.
"Stay Strong"
I just tell myself
As they call me terrible names.
Don't let them weaken you with their words
" Stay Strong"
Even when they judge you
"Stay Strong"
I just tell myself
As their backs face towards me
" Stay Strong"
As they walk away from me
How long can I keep this up?
It's getting harder to hide the pain
It feels like I'm suffocating
I don't care about happiness anymore
I just want to feel okay again.
"Okay"
Is all I need
End of flashback

Hears whispers-
"Omg really?"
"Not even kidding!"
"Ahaha! That's hilarious"
"I know right???"
"WOW"
"Didn't think we see you here..."
"Oh my gosh. Just look at the way she's dressed."
"Where do you even get your clothes?"
"Probably the same place you go to get clothes for your dogs."
"Don't you mean pigs?"
"Ahaha you're right"
"Do you think she's going to break down?"
"I heard that's what happened in the past"
"I bet you she will"
"Such a loser"
I didn't care what their problem was so I just walked pass them...oh shit it's raining.
I've been taking hits from life for as long as I can remember
And I'm totally fine with it
I'll just keep moving forward for as long as I can
Maybe one day...
Just maybe...
I'll be okay once more
