you never know pain until you are a joke, everyone laughs and the world stands still. your tears mean nothing to them the day you were born was the day you were condemned. you'll try to be cool you'll try to fit in but you'll never be one of them. you'll sit in your room and cry at night but you'll never be good enough to end this fight. then comes suicide, a failed attempt fifteen tylenol won't do the trick maybe you'll give up and just be yourself. but no matter what, you'll never be good enough for any of t h e m

It sounds like you should just work out and beat the crap out of all these jerks, thats what I did. I was always messed with because Im a Christian. So I worked out for three months straight and next time someone made fun of me or pushed me around I kicked the crap out of them and made sure everyone saw, I didnt have anymore problems.

How very christan of you Blind. Way to set an example.

As for you open wounds you remind me of this girl I know. If things are as bad as you say they are then you have three major choice you can make. Either change things (Blind's way, or any other), Leave things as they are, be misearible, or option number three. Stop caring about being apart of the crowd and be as absolutly different as you can be. <=#3 could be considered option #1 but it being different isn't really a change for you I guess and its not really staying the same either.

Oh yeah I like this alot. I'd like to use your piece as lyrics for my band with your permission. -10-
Not to be mean or anything but I think your first line is missing a word.

Very honest writing, Pnwnds. Yes, you'll never be good enough for them, and you'll never BE them. Maybe that's a good thing.
