Overcame


When I was a kid My opinion meant very little to others I was told that silence is better than to be heard This became a problem for me Because society constantly made me out to be the enemy And my peers always saw me differently And no matter the pain they had caused me I had to sit there in silence and let it go on This cycle continued until I graduated Eigth grade was a mess now its time to impress Freshmen year in a whole new location Feeling relieved cause nobody knows of me This year I will change Ill keep changing until the end of my days No more fearing that my silence will come back No more fearing that the bullies will strike back And if they do again this time ill be prepared This time I have ammunition that comes with unlimited bullets And a bulletproof vest for the ones you fire back at me
