Like they can't have a good day unless they're sayin crap about me?
They don't understand what it's like.
To have to go through it everyday.
To not know your father very well.
To come home and feel like you can be yourself and not worry about anything in the world.
I wish someone would just show them how it feels to be putdown.
Just because I'm not rich or that I don't wear a size 2,
doesn't mean that I'm not a good person.
If you would just take a second, and get to know me,
then you would be surprised.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
It won't get you anywhere.
The only thing that you will get is a feeling of guilt.
So why don't you just leave us alone
and let us go on with our lives. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 332 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Strawberry [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
