Self-Image

It started in Middle School
I was pushed around and called a fool.
I tried to fight back,
I soon found out I had no attack.
I tried hard to fit in,
Why was it that I couldn't win?
I used to Love that place,
But it made me fall on my Face.

I used to dream that I could Fly.
Now I'm scarred I'll Fall and Die.
I wanted to Run away,
But the pain was there to stay.
That place has changed me
I'm someone I don't want to See

I met this girl.
She became most my World.
Now she's gone away.
"Good-bye, I love you."
She did say.
She met someone new.
There was nothing I could do.

She is standing on a Mountaintop.
I'm down here, in case she falls off.
But she is safe in his Grasp.
Too bad, I failed that task.
"I love you, babe."
I'll never hear her say.

I want to be someone New
A person comparable to few.
I want to Shine.
Not in yours, but my own Eyes.
I have someone to thank.
She's been there, most the way.
She never gave up,
until I saw the half full cup.

Just so you know
My self image, is no longer low.
I don't care about the Past.
I ripped out that old Mask.
And about that girl.
The one that bent my Heart to a curl.
I have moved on.
'Cause now, the time is Dawn.

Life is good.
Everything is as it should.
And if you're ever Down,
Find someone to be around.
They will ease the Pain,
and it will stop the Rain.
Trust me, you are unique,
trust me, I was once a Geek.
