"say the words that hurt,
go ahead; make me cry..
not a word can you say,
that i won't defy.
you may hurt me,
but never will you tear me down.
when we get older i'll be somebody,
i'll be the talk of the town.
but as of right now, i'm trying to survive.
because people say i have a lot of potential,
and i'm chasing my dreams because,
i got something special."

The author's comments:
Being picked on really scarred me for life. My step-dad inspired this one, because he talked to me, from the heart. He kept repeating "You've got something special." and now i believe it.
