The Broken

This is a personal one so yeah enjoy

I sat all alone with just me and my heart of stone
I used to be an average girl but now I don't know how I feel
I look around me and I wonder if any of this is real
It doesn't seem like my version of Heaven it has no appeal
I just want to runaway to repeal from this place
Is there such a place called grace?
Because if there is please take me there
I'm tired of being here
In this school, I'm bullied and pushed around
They kick me and beat me but everyone ignores my screams even though they are loud
I'm tired of being beaten down I do not want to drown
All my friends I'm pretty sure they'll just leave me in the end
Most of them are conformists just following the new trend
But I am the one person who never changes
What's the point of becoming something you're not?
I'm not like everyone else I'm not a trend-worthy robot
I do what I want and I am who I am and nothing will ever change that
Just listen to me it's just a fact
I don't care how much I am attacked
I will remain intact
I'm so tired of everyone telling me how to live and who I should be
I'm not going to be anyone but me
Why can't the bullies and voices just leave me be?
I hate all of this pressure
It makes me feel so insecure
I'm tired of having to live up to expectations
I don't need your permission or exceptions
I'm not going to change
Stay out of my way
I'm never going to be who you want me to be
This is who I am
And all I know is that I don't fit right in my body
I shouldn't have this girly form I want to transform
But no one will let me I'm stuck in this cage
And my hands are tied back I can't turn the page
I just want to continue my story and maybe find glory
Please someone save me get me out of this place
I have found my true self and I want to become that
Why won't you just let me instead of spitting your judgement?
Stop shitting on my predicament
If I could be me, I would change my body
If I could be me, I would tell the world about my homosexuality
If I could be me, I would tell everyone to be themselves no matter what
But I am not a risk taker for what I have to say does not matter
I must accept my fate and deal with all of this hate
It'll always be banging at my door, it's not something I can just ignore
So instead I will build up walls, take others like me inside, and protect them all
If you are a lost LGBTQ, someone who is not accepted, a so-called freak
Then come here to my palace of acceptance and you'll have a family
We are the broken, the unspoken, and the damned
I say fuck everyone else
I'll be who I am
