Both Perspectives

You, you really wanna blame me
For acting the way I am, even though you don’t know me fully?
You think I’m a bully
You think I do this just to get a laugh
Because you think I will never be good at anything else, ‘cause I’m daft
Well then, you really don’t know me then do yah?
Knees bent, head throb, stomach clenched
Covered in sweat and blood, completely drenched
Vomiting my lunch out from the pain and hurt
Feeling like I should be six feet under the dirt
Telling me I’m worthless, that I’m a complete jerk
Telling me that I would be better off merked
That’s what you makes me feel like
Making me feel all alone because you probably have a family
A mom who loves you, and a hard working daddy
Well guess what, my mom is dead
And my dad’s a deadbeat
Because he beats me for not getting his beer to him soon enough
And when he’s yelling at me, I don’t feel so tough
No, I don’t feel tough at all when you're beating me
Threatening to take my lunch money so you can go on eating
And if I don’t, well then I’ll get a good beating
And the whole thing repeats, at our next meeting
Every time I walk home it’s all the same thing
Dad’s watching TV, telling me to get is fifth alcoholic drink
And after doing so, I then retreat to my room
Where I clench my fists, cut my wrists, and think about my inevitable doom
And you say that I’m doing this for fun
Maybe if you see what my life is like, than you’ll understand why I do this to you
Getting home, all bloody and bruised
Mom having a heart attack asking me how I got misused
Because I always get misused, by you and your dudes
And when she demands a response from me, I refuse
Because I know if I tell, you’ll kill me
At least that’s what you said
When you threatened to tell about “fun” that I have with you
Yeah I pull out my knife and threaten to end you
Because if my dad finds out what I’ve been doing
He’ll kill me too, because that bastard doesn’t have anything better to do
But come to think about it the only person who will benefit from my death, is you
‘Cause if I’m dead, than you’ll feel like you’ve succeeded
‘Cause if I’m dead, than you will think that I have conceded
But if I’m dead, than you’ll just go pick on someone else on this earth
But if I’m dead, than you’ll know for a fact that I am of no worth
But I can’t handle the pain anymore, and the feeling that no one will help me
So maybe it’s time for you to succeed
And me to conceded
And end the pain now
