It never ceases to amuse me, how some of you can use me

And make me feel more worthless by the day

You tell me what to think and make me believe I'm weak

And sometimes I feel there's no other way

My six months in silence still, after you drained me of my will

Tore my heart into little shattered shards

Inferior is what they say, and they remind me every day

I guess equality just wasn't in the cards

Just like in an ancient Mongol scroll, your only weapon is control

But you still handicap just like a battle scar

You ever look upon the worst, telling me just how I am cursed

And you make me feel numbness from near or far

From the day dawning on my birth, you have told me of my worth

Which only decomposes through the years

As it puts me to the test, only tomorrow will be less

Another testing of a thousand battered fears

But it's time that I stood out, and told you how I feel about

All the torment that you've put me through and pain

You then proceeded to perplex, my inferiority complex

And you left me with an emotional stain

It's high time that I stood tall, pulled my back forward from the wall

And look upon the writings there I've placed

I've got to look beyond the hack, and turn my mind to thinking back

To time before the mental wall which I defaced

And its time I took my stand, against what through the years have spanned

Try to march to the beat of a different drum

And I'll look to the sky and say, tomorrow is a brand new day
