Pull No Punches
When I was a child
I used to be wild
I would speak my mind
Not always being kind
I made choices that others found strange
Which resulted in a gradual change
I was shut out from the groups
They were gathering their troops
I was kicking and screaming
My anger and desperation teeming
So I punched them
Only leading to my own condemn
When trying to be accepted
Everyone beat me to it
Then I got rejected
And I threw a fit
When they all turned on me
I would hit and run
I should have counted to three
Instead of hide in the bathroom
In the years to come
In my attempts to overcome
I'd hide all my anger
Suppress any eagerness
I made choices that others would accept
And under the rug, all the anger was swept
I shut down my outward emotion
Just drowning in my ocean
Thought I was being myself
But I left all my boundaries
So I pleased them
Only leading to my own condemn
When trying to be accepted
Everyone beat me to it
When I got rejected
All I did was quit
When they all turned on me
I would stay alone
Am I lonely or just free?
I think I'm better on my own
The memories, the flashbacks
A punch in the gut
I would rather take a hit
Try to roll with the punches
Just accept that I'm a misfit
But something had to change
Had to let my emotions go free range
Find a healthy outlet
Cry, sleep, write, sing and sweat
When trying to be accepted
Everyone beat me to it
When I got rejected
I was building grit
When they all turned on me
I would start again
Am I always gonna flee?
I think I need to break the chain
I used to be wild
I would speak my mind
Not always being kind
I made choices that others found strange
Which resulted in a gradual change
I was shut out from the groups
They were gathering their troops
I was kicking and screaming
My anger and desperation teeming
So I punched them
Only leading to my own condemn
When trying to be accepted
Everyone beat me to it
Then I got rejected
And I threw a fit
When they all turned on me
I would hit and run
I should have counted to three
Instead of hide in the bathroom
In the years to come
In my attempts to overcome
I'd hide all my anger
Suppress any eagerness
I made choices that others would accept
And under the rug, all the anger was swept
I shut down my outward emotion
Just drowning in my ocean
Thought I was being myself
But I left all my boundaries
So I pleased them
Only leading to my own condemn
When trying to be accepted
Everyone beat me to it
When I got rejected
All I did was quit
When they all turned on me
I would stay alone
Am I lonely or just free?
I think I'm better on my own
The memories, the flashbacks
A punch in the gut
I would rather take a hit
Try to roll with the punches
Just accept that I'm a misfit
But something had to change
Had to let my emotions go free range
Find a healthy outlet
Cry, sleep, write, sing and sweat
When trying to be accepted
Everyone beat me to it
When I got rejected
I was building grit
When they all turned on me
I would start again
Am I always gonna flee?
I think I need to break the chain
