Life's Game

You and your other friends
Are popular and all
Everyone likes you
You stand tall.

But I guess I don't
Stand tall like you
But that doesn't mean
You can't be true.

You're tall and skinny
With bright blue eyes
While I'm short and overweight
Not a good size.

My eyes are different colors from one another
So I'm called a freak.
So you laughed out
And thought I was weak.

But can you see
Beyond my fears?
Beyond our old friendship?
Beyond the years?

I don't think you can
For you called me that name
A "Freak" is what
You said I've became.

I begin to believe you
About this name
I start to understand
Your little game.

I'm a freak
I mainly wear black
This name you gave me
You can't take back.

But who cares now?
I sit alone
If I'm not at school
I'm at home.

I keep to myself
Hold everything inside
This pain I have
I cannot abide.

I cry tears
Of hate and agony
My life is just
One big tragedy.

But this thing you called me
This one small name
Has made me forfeit
Life's little game.
