We are the Criticized,
We are the teased.
We are the losers.
We are the freaks.
We do a “wrong” thing,
And we get screwed.
Our lives aren’t perfect,
But this is nothing new.
We don’t listen to your music,
We could care less what you do.
We look past it all,
And move to something new.
We aren’t wearing the right clothes,
Or we act the wrong way.
We get criticized for it,
Every single day.
Do you know what its like,
To live this life?
A life of doubt,
And full of strife.
So much guilt,
About our past,
That we can’t handle it.
We can hardly last.
Have we ever done anything
But turn our backs,
To the lies you tell,
And the unfortunate facts?
We shouldn’t take this.
But we do anyway,
There’s no reason to return fire,
So we walk away.
I have had enough of it,
Of the laughing and lies.
Of being called a freak,
And always knowing why.
It may be a losing battle,
And we may have a hard fall.
But we have nothing to lose,
They’ve taken it all.
So with this final breath,
I must ask if this can be.
To all of the Criticized,
Are you with me?

I'm with you!
I know where you are coming from with this one. sometimes i'm so scared i'll mess up, i can't even talk to people. i'm sick of it!! its so annoying but it aint gonna get any better, specially not for us christians coz the devil is out to get us. but we got someone more powerful on our side and he goes by the mighty name of Lord Jesus CHRIST!!! So I'm with you. -

I know how much this sucks. Its not the best feeling in the world having someone watcing your every move just waiting for you to screw up so they can point and laugh.

The battle cry of "We Who Are Noy As Others".
Sucks to be judged.
It makes you wish you were totally invisible after all the time you wished people would notice you for you.
Life is such a contrasting contradiction of hypocrisies.
