You can read the pain of disappointment written in their eyes
You are nothing they were hoping you would be
When you follow your ambitions on a journey they despise
When your pleasure is impossible to see
When they hate what you became
You are just a piece of garbage in their game
When they say you’re nothing special
When they say you’re not important
When they say you’re just a nobody it’s true
But they’ve never seen a nobody like you
You were pointed to a picture of perfection at its peak
To the model of a mind that could be yours
But the voices on a brighter path would passionately speak
As they tempted you to enter other doors
When your destiny was clear
Those who saw it screamed to make it disappear
When they say you’re nothing special
When they say you’re not important
When they say you’re just a nobody it’s true
But they’ve never seen a nobody like you
You are nothing that they wanted
You are nothing that they know
When you step outside their shadow you will grow
You can feel the cut of condemnation slicing through their words
You are someone they will never understand
When you fly away forever in a frenzied blaze of birds
You destroy the bleak obedience they planned
You’re the sanity they lack
You’re a nobody who’s never going back
When they say you’re nothing special
When they say you’re not important
When they say you’re just a nobody it’s true
But they’ve never seen a nobody
A strong and stable somebody
Like you
