Acting Out
Was diagnosed before the first gradeThey knew what I had and I would never be the sameMom and Dad said nothing would changeBut I knew it was different from the very first day
They knew why I was always acting out, acting outWhy I was never like anyone else, anyone elseThey knew why I would always stand out, stand outI never knew what anyone was talking about
The first time someone called me the r wordwas in second grade she thought I hadn't heardI heard her alright and a tear slipped from my eyeBut I never told anybody because I couldn't let them see me cry
I just held on and said I was okaybut no one knew that I felt betrayedmy mom said that the world was goodbut I know now that I never shouldhave believed heroh cause believersonly break and fall
Now I'm in the 10th gradeand I still believe and I still hopethat my heart will stay unbroken and wholeand I know that it's worthless stillbut I gotta keep holding on to somethingbefore I get swept underand get trampled by the wavesof my mistakes
