When you are an unpopular kid
…………You don’t want people to notice you
…………You want their eyes to pass over you
…………And move on to the next victim

When you are an unpopular kid
…………No one cares what you say
…………No one cares what you think
…………If you stand up too much
………………….You get pushed down

And if you are lucky
There will be a friend
…………Who listens
…………Who cares,
…………They probably don’t even know,
…………And pushes you up
…………Despite yourself
