• Society

    I see all the faces staring at me
    I can see it in their eyes
    It is me who they despise
    They see my outer appearance and not what is within
    They don't know that what they say really gets under my skin.

    I can hear the whispers full of torment,
    that is meant for me
    But they don't know that I am better than that
    you see.

    Now I will take all the
    hatred,
    all the teasing,
    and put-downs
    And turn my frown upside-down
    Because I have a secret they can not see.
    I won't let all this negativity get the best of me.

    So I will keep my head up and my smiles bright.
    Be who I am meant to be.
    Because I won't let society get the best of me!
