8th Grade

<p>Caught staring again Like a deer in the headlights When I can't move fast enough I take a hit for the team Pretty girl is blushing I can't tell if she's disgusted Laughter starts to swell Like someone gets the joke</p><p>Bell rings I make my escape It helps a little But doesn't save Beat down's a common thing It happens every day Maybe I'm just strange Cause I don't change schools Maybe I like the abuse Or maybe I'm just like you</p><p>Another confrontation You've got something to prove Your girl can't tell how tough you are When you beat me up in the boy's room I made a big mistake But I can't help who I like This may not cost my life But I am branded forever lame This was not my decision You were born with good looks And a solid right hook Whining makes no difference You bruised my eye It doesn't hurt at all One day I'll rise above And you will take a fall I may be beat today But I will survive I'll get up off the ground Stand tall and fight My eyes don't hurt at all I would rather die Than be your whipping boy</p><p>School year's almost over Summer is one day closer</p><p>As God is my witness I will never be a victim again</p>
