Bullied
Anthony LaBona 1976 (United States)
Why am I the one
Why did you choose me
Having your fun at my expense
Knowing I'm the one who will lose
I'm forever sorry
Sorry, I'm not cool enough
sorry, I'm not strong enough
sorry, I'm not rich enough
sorry, I'm not smart enough
the names you call me
Echo in my head as I fall
the words you say to me
keep me from being free
locked in the cage I call my soul
As you slap hit and pull
smiling because you've won
I'm the scared one, the week one, the dumb one the poor one
I'm your target
my death is your goal
so here it is my last breath
you'll soon forget me
so tighten this rope
one small step and I'm free
out of all hope
I can only pray you see
the damage your words have done to me
