I don’t understand why you knock me down
And as I’m down you kick me around
I try and get up, you step on me
Kick me really hard until I bleed
I lay on the ground hoping you’ll leave
Hoping you will get bored and let me be
When I think it is all clear I try and stand
But there’s no one there to lend a hand
You’ve turned so many against me I feel alone
I feel as though I’m being stoned
People don’t even seem to care
They pass me by, some stop and stare
I can’t help but give in to the pain
It hurts so bad it makes me insane
What I did to deserve this I will never know
I am on the ground and feeling so low
There is nothing else you could possibly do
I’m beaten, broken, bloody and bruised
I can’t possibly get up and move on I give in
I look to the sky and yell “you win”
But something deep inside me begs me to try
I push up from the ground and as I cry
I find the strength inside me that is needed
I will not let myself feel broken or defeated
