There once was a time, when I could say That every bad day was just another day I thought it to be true, but then it all turned around Hard to stay still when it's all upside down. I tried to keep myself calm, but it wasn't so easy I couldn't tell anybody anything without not pleasing I became a nuisance to everyone I knew Before I could say it, they said, "Oh, it's you." The mocking went up, and my life went down I couldn't stop everything that I heard all around I gave up, hoping it would all just stop But it never has ceased, I'm about to erupt I can't take it anymore, I'm not just some guy Who thinks that life is not real, that I should die I believe that there's a purpose, and that's what I stand for But maybe you'd understand if you could shut up a bit more This is a time when all we do Is make fun of weak people just like you And, we don't realize that no matter how they are People are saying shit about you, no matter how afar You think it's just a game, that they'll shake it off They'll look back it in 34 years, they'll scoff But when that kid you made fun of for what he did Puts the gun to his head, you'll want to take back what you said You don't realize that the world is changing People take things seriously now, it's all ranging From great to suicidal, it's no fucking game It may take just one word to make 'em bow their heads in shame I remember back when I was called the one Who should have stayed back because I was young And I wouldn't understand, because I wasn't cool They tried to convince me that I was the fool Well, just remember this, when you look back 34 years from now, when life seems to be on track Think of all the people you loved, and those you teased Think of the ones you hurt, and the ones you pleased And maybe you'll realized the mistakes you made When somebody you hated dies by the tip of a blade This is a time when all we do Is make fun of weak people just like you And, we don't realize that no matter how they are People are saying shit about you, no matter how afar This is a time when all we need Is to find our differences, and help those in need And, maybe someday we'll find a way To make this world we know a better place Let me say one more thing, before this rhyme ends Let it be known, that all people want is friends They don't want to be hurt, want to be called the school slut Don't convince that they're idiots, that they want to give up Learn to respect a difference, and make it a plus Some people don't hear a compliment enough And maybe someday in 34 years There won't be as many people crying painful tears
This is completely beautiful. It's so true, I absolutely adore it. Thank you for writing this, it shows exactly how a lot of people feel.
as mali did, i would like to thank you fot writing this. it makes a difference, such poems and lyrics. bless you, man.
I like this a lot. I already feel deeply sorry for the people my friends and I teased back in high school, because when you look at it now what was it all for? Just a laugh, but at their emotional expense. This makes me feel like I suck, but it's great work on your part.
I liked it. Although a few lines seemed paired with forced rhymes, it had a great message and was written quite well. Congrats.
You can delete it yourself, all you have to do is click 'edit' and then 'go advanced', there should be a 'delete my post' option. [Edit] No problem.
Simply put, this is beautiful, it describes almost about everything I, and I am sure many others have been through. Great work man.
