Have you ever felt like you're not important?
Like most of the time, you're an outcast?
In every game or opportunity
You always get picked last?
You try so hard, only to fit in
And you want to be you, just as you are
But whatever you do is always wrong
And everything they say, leaves a scar
None of them understand how tough it is
To be insulted, alone and ignored
They dont know how it feels to break
And not be strong or emotionally insured
They make you feel something's wrong with you
Because it seems you'll never do anything right
Either you're too short, or your skin is too dark
And the color of your hair just adds to your plight
They never attempt to understand you
Because that, for them, is a futile task
They dont care if you can sing or paint
They will never make an effort to ask
It's a cruel game that they all play
Taking advantage and cutting you so
Despite their ignorance, they feel you are an idiot
If you speak of Einstein, Washington or Truffaut
What do you do, where do you turn?
Will you ever reach a place where you stop trying?
You dont know why only you are the scapegoat
And wonder if you'll ever stop silently crying
They'll only ever be nice to you
To set you up to fall
Then they'll walk right over you
With no hint of remorse at all
They'll see your pain, but they wont care
They actually think it's all an act
Just a bid to get attention, they feel
With no basis whatsoever in fact
You never had it as easy as the others
But they blame you for sorely lacking
It's not your fault, you should know and believe
So dont feel guilty for your edges cracking
It is the most difficult life
To be so afraid, insecure and alone
All you ever wanted was a little support
And a little kindness to be shown
But you are and will be unimportant
Your feelings dont matter and nor do you
You can never win, by their rules
And you will never be part of their crew
But know this, oh Wounded One
Your Fate will change in due time
Just hang in there and summon your strength
And you'll turn out just fine
What they know is only superficial
What you know will carry you through
What you can develop is infinite
Just have faith in your strength for that's what's true
And know this too, for it's not false
You will always shine bold and bright
For unlike them, who cannot see the flame
You carry the Torch of what is good and right
You may be unimportant to them
But they are unimportant overall
And never forget that those who trip others
Ultimately end up with the hardest fall.
