It used to tear me up inside, to hear the lies
To be the subject of intimidation
Not because I am so hurt
Something different
I wear a disguise, a smiling happy face
The bullies don't realize
That I am so much more than dirt
Beneath their odorous feet
In their face I might cry, or smile
I might be a fool, or try
But they won't relent
So the best answer is to defend
By ignoring them inside
Let them take their ride
And think they are so strong
But the fear in me towards them
Is long gone, past the point of worry
When I hear them bluster, inside me I laugh
Because the truth is that they are worthless
And I've lived long enough, that I've had enough
