Stand My Ground


When it began, no one could tell How hard it was for me I was just like the other boys and girls Just with more energy In middle school, that’s when things changed I knew something was wrong To others, I was kind of strange Like I did not belong I did not choose to be this way But no one understood And I could not control it Though I did the best I could I thought and thought about it And I came to realize It’s not about what others think It’s what is in my eyes My disorder constantly Would work to bring me down I do not have to be a victim If I stand my ground
