if I could talk
what would I say?
would I tell them
the truth?
it wouldn't matter
to them
I am "that kid"
"he's weird
he's fat
he's lazy
he's..."
he's Me
A famous line from a movie onced went something like "You can't handle the truth".
If I were to tell you the truth,
it'd have to be from a telephone booth.
Somewhere where I couldn't see your face
In this day and age,
it can be hard to take center stage.
For the audience will criticize
until you want to run and hide.
They'll laugh at you.
They'll say terrible things too.
All of these voices
