Reality
Society today is judgmental and messed up
If you're trying to fit in well good luck.
The names they say will tear you to shreds
Just try not to let them get to your head.
They tell him he's fat for being overweight.
She's called ugly because a birthmark on her face.
This girl's demonic for wearing all black
School's like a warzone, everyday you're attacked.
Loners, nerds, preps, and jocs
Everyone's labeled in the school which they walk.
A boy's on the verge of suicide because no one understands
Why he prefers to be in the company of another man.
You get judged for stupid things like the color of your skin
Your shape, clothes, even the family you're born in.
She's a freak because her hair is like a rainbow
The guy with piercings and tattoos is the nicest guy you will know.
But you will never know, because society has labeled him trouble maker, the bad guy.
These are the people that often cry
And sit up all night wondering why
Why can't they be accepted for who they are?
Why are they freaks for expressing their individuality?
It's sad to say, this is reality.
