We all Belong

Am not the only kid who grew up this way.
Ignored, forgotten like a dog astray.
Which path should i take white, black, maybe gray.
Every night I sleep I cry and pray.
 
They rhyme it as sticks and stones
Like it hurts more than broken bones
I rather have a broken bone than be out of the zone
The zone, where I fit in with various tones.
 
We grew up believing no one could ever fall in love
Lonely, because all they did was shove
Pushed away, sometimes I think they want to get rid of
I walk away, hoping to grow wings and fly above, like a dove.
 
We empty ourselves, so we would feel nothing.
Until I meet a girl that likes me, I start blushing.
Don't know how it's like to love, and she left cause I was rushing
I tear and pray, hoping to hear a voice saying am coming.
 
Yet they have the audacity to call me an addict
The only way to escape was to take the drugs for the pain to restrict
How dare you with conviction act like you contradict
You're creating a monster, you only grow the conflict
 
I was strong, that doesn't mean we all were.
You broke her, threw her in the air
Because of you, her reflection seem like a blur
She deny she's beautiful, all she did was deter.
 
I was strong, because of that I made it to this day.
Here to tell you today, what you did scared her till this day
She's beautiful, yet all she did was turn away
She seeks and seek, she looks by the bay
 
Her last hope to find what it is to be beautiful.
By the bay, I found her looking wonderful
She seeks beauty, ignoring she's cheerful
All she thinks of herself is that she's awful.
 
A little inspiration for her to know they were wrong
They had to be, because I made it being strong
That was all she needed, to see they were wrong, she sings a song
A song to show that we all belong.
