My wings have been shattered
My wings have been shatteredBy people who tormented me as if it didnt even matter
Because I was different the kid with the red hair
Some people acted like I wasnt even there
Like I didnt exist or was some sort of ghost
The clown show was in town and I was the host
Being bullied in school well before it was a big deal
Just drained my self worth and I began not to feel
Try to climb the social ladder
but my wings would be shattered
The years went on and being tormented and teased
I felt like everyone hated me and the devil was pleased
No one ever stood up for me or lent me a hand
I was the lost soul in the sand
As I got older I realized the scars ran deeper than I thought
I fell into their trap and I was caught
The trap was to break you down and make you feel worthless
Like running down an endless alley trying to make it hurt less
I used humor to hide my pain and its a short term solution
It was time to start a revolution
So anyone out there that feels the way I did listen
Stand up and be yourself let yourself shine and your eyes glisten
They cant take away your dreams
Make them here your screams
Being different is a gift that should not be wasted
Show them who you are and the sweetness shall be tasted
People that pick on you are afraid of you and they have their own issues
Walk on by them and throw them a tissue
They are craving the attention they will get madder
Dont let your wings get shattered
Never change who you are you make the world go round
With your wings you can fly the others will just drown
It may be too late for me but this message is for the younger generation
Be strong never lose your determination
After all the teasing and insults have been traded
My heart was jaded
Built up walls to keep people out
I also locked myself away and couldnt shout
Fly free climb the ladder
and remember your wings cant be shattered
Be who you are not what others want you to be
and your wings will carry you to a place where you will be free
Being who you are is all that matters
For me well my wings have been shattered
