JUST TRY IT

I see that look on your face
That high and mighty sneer
I wonder if you ever tried to be kind
If you ever felt bad for calling someone queer

I know your type
You judge everyone you see
Anytime, anyone, not that you care
And I wish you would know how it is to be me

So you�d understand my tears
I want you to see my pain!
If you just gave me a chance
You�d discover I�m not at all vain

I really am a good person
And the thing I enjoy most is having fun
Sure, I�m not perfect
But when you see me, why must you run?

I�m not popular, not labeled as cool
Not a jock, a cheerleader or a stoner
You seem to think it�s your place to tease me
Just because I�m a loner

Well I want to tell you something
Loner or not, I have feelings too
And I want you to prove everyone wrong
Show them the right thing to do

So, step down from your stand
And please, show off your kindness
It�s not always the �cool� thing to do
But it�s better than your usual cruelness

Think you�re up to the challenge?
Think you could do it?
Go on, prove the world wrong
Just try it
