You strive to be perfect, to succeed in whatever
Or at least to be normal, not an outcast forever
You try to fit in, blend in with the rest
But the harder you try the harder it gets

To overcome all the obstacles, and feel you belong.
To be able to look in the mirror and not feel alone
To stop the self pity, the tears, the anger
To stop being a victim and become a fighter

The family, good grades, they make you forget
Make you feel like you're everything but how far will it
get
Before the worst beats the best, the bad beats the good,
And you succumb to the bitter sweet truth.

Am I asking too much, am I way outta line?
Should I stop feeling helpless, is it all in my mind?
So many questions that race through my head
why me and why now, and when does it end?

Will this be the final frontier, last battle to fight
After holding it in, not telling despite
Being a captive of thoughts, a vicious circle within,
As much as I want to, I know I'll never win.
