I am the one that they tore down

Pushed and shoved all around

Never knowing what the sky was like

Because my face was towards the ground

I am the one that they called gay

Because i never said what they wanted me to say

I was never at home

At school is where I would stay I was mostly alone

Afraid to stand and think on my own

No one knew that I was apart of the unknown

Broken down never knew what to do

Weakened because there was no one to go to

I am the person that figured himself out years later

That soon began to see his father as a hater

Time and time again i begged for one minute

But all he could say is push for it

It wasn’t til I cried for hours and days

That he noticed I was going down the wrong ways

It took many days for me to say what I wanted to say

But anyways

I am the one that was told you are a minority

That you could never be as good as me

Because you’re not as skinny as me

You're not as intelligent as me

I am the one who said that I don't care

Because I want to be nobody but me

I am the one who is not wrong

For I am forever strong

What you did in the past

Will no longer make me last

I am taking my mask off because I don’t need it

I am the one you can’t hit

I am the one who’s above average

I am the one who’s going to college
