Different

Sitting in your dark room with all the candle lights flickering.
Remembering all the people at school today with all their snickering.
There goes the freak all dressed in black.
Their comments would have hurt if your body was not so numb from the crack.
Go ahead none will miss you.
Take your life.
Take the knife and end this damn miserable life.

Hiding in the kitchen eating another cake.
Why not?
Food is the only way you could get rid of the ache.
You’re the fat kid everyone laughs at.
Your never going to be skinny why bother Matt.
Go ahead none will miss you.
Eat the pills.
It is the quickest way to kill.

Hey Sara you’re getting fat.
You can’t be the captain of the cheerleading squad.
Oh God you’ve gained a pound.
Yeah you’re beautiful today but that could all change soon.
Before you know it you'll be yesterdays tune.
Quick better throw up that cake from lunch.
Do not forget the candy bar you munched.

Moe and you are not together any more?
You gave him your virginity and now he thinks you’re a whore.
He is the love of your life though.
You can not be without him.
You know his not coming back, his with Kim.
Go to the beach were you two made love.
Die there and he'll remember you like a pure white dove.

So they found out you’re gay?
You can kiss goodbye to your pro ball career today.
Who wants to play with a fag?
So Cindy, Jasmine, and Brenda were all a boast less brag?
How is you pap's going to deal with the shame.
You’re going to have to die with flames.
People will than know you were brave and remember your name.

Peer pressure and cruelty they come in so many forms.
Society likes to condition us to its norms.
We must be like all the other people.
We cannot stand out like a tall tower steeple.
So much for being different and unique.
Or our minds are we too scared to speak?
