I started year nine,
And said "it's now time
For me to work hard."
And to stay on my guard.
I began to try and do my best,
So that I can do well in every test.
But then I suddenly began to fear,
Because there was a sudden change in atmosphere.
There are many parts to surviving in school,
You've got the girl in there who thinks she rules.
In order for me to survive the day,
It's better for me to stay out of her way.
But one day she's with me, she says she's my friend,
And I don't see it's all pretend,
Until that day she makes me feel all worthless,
And every time, "it's not on purpose."
She always makes fun, and says it's a joke,
And says that I will die of a stroke,
And you don't see the damage it can do
Until the exact same thing would happen to you.
I try not to let it get to my head,
And so I focus on music, not her instead.
But somewhere in the corner, deep in my mind,
What she says to me would just grind and grind.
I can't say anything, I've got to be tough,
But I can never be sure enough
Of who I can trust, to explain how I feel,
And ask for help on how I can heal.
I wait for the day when people will see,
Everything that's happened between her and me.
And she will be the one to pay,
But I will be the one to say:
To those of you who are reading this,
Remember in the end that life is bliss.
And whatever encounter that does go wrong,
Remember - from me - just stay strong.
