Erase (Just A Kid)

Another song/poem about being the odd one out...always.

Erase (Just A Kid)

Once again I'm alone

In a world of my own

Where I can do whatever I want to

Can't stand another day

Someone make their words go away

'Cause I know I'm not like you

So how can I try to fly

When you keep breaking my wings

So how can I reach for the sky

When you're just not listening

Just because I'm not

Like them, but so what?

So I'm breaking out right now

But I know

I'm gonna make it someday

I'm gonna make it my way

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to them

That I can make it too

So go on, just laugh at me

Someday you will be sorry

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to myself

But not to people like you

As I erase your words from my memory

Don't ever think of turning back to me

Once again alone I fall

To my knees, hit the ground

Take the beating quietly

And pray that it'll be over soon

So now I shout, hear my call

So the world will hear the sound

Like a lone wolf howling endlessly

Howling at the distant moon

So how can I try to fly

When you pretend I've got nothing to show

So how can I reach for the sky

When you call me stupid, but what do you know?

Just because I'm not

Like them, but so what?

So I'm breaking out right now

But I know

I'm gonna make it someday

I'm gonna make it my way

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to them

That I can make it too

So go on, just laugh at me

Someday you will be sorry

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to myself

But not to people like you

As I erase your words from my memory

Don't ever think of turning back to me

Now your words don't hurt anymore

No I don't feel a thing

And I will fly on forevermore

So this song I will sing'

And you'll never break my spirit

Though you may break my bones

'Cause I'm more than just another kid

I'm gonna find my own way home

But I know

I'm gonna make it someday

I'm gonna make it my way

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to them

That I can make it too

So go on, just laugh at me

Someday you will be sorry

'Cause I'm just a kid out to prove to myself

But not to people like you

As I erase your words from my memory

Don't ever think of turning back to me

I love this!! I love writing songs but i think yours are much better than mine!! Its realy wonderful this song expresses a good feel of solid hard core emoton and how all "kids" feel at times.

Looks like my influence work have effected you kep up the good work

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Nice song. I think it screams punk rock. It will definitely get the house jumping. From Thrash to Grunge to Punk and everything in between, you seem have 3 decades of music trapped in a teenager's mind. Your lyrics feel authentic to different time periods. That's great.

[Dinesh Sairam]

Much like 'Simple plan' lyrics. It would sound great with music, trust me :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Being young leave us feeling small and alone. But life is a trick. The people who fight for great dreams and not afraid of making mistakes will win more knowledge and be content with their life. In the end we must be content with our life. Other people opinions don't mean that much. A excellent poem.
