Before this begins I just want to say this was very hard to write, for I mentioned six years of verbal an physical bullying that had some long lasting affects on how I interact it’s others. I also mention my struggle with mental health and seeing a counsellor. I would appreciate some sensitivity around the subject.

That’s great, it starts with a hand shake 

Fear and friends and School busses

A young version of me is afraid

6 years of misery, never turn a blind eye

No more safety net,

No one has a safety net

Bullies finally gone, great then

The ladder starts to clatter

With a fear of height, down, height

Base drop

Some survival, to represent the fittest

A new principal for hire, I’m the big bad wolf

If you hurt you can’t be hurt,

And all the teachers breathing down your neck.

 I’m at a new high school, fresh start, clean slate, ok

No longer my safe nest, fine, then

Uh oh, overflow, need to make a bigger school

But it’ll do, save yourself, serve yourself

People serves their own needs, listen to your heart bleed

I’m defined by others right, right

You vitriolic, probiotic, slam fight, bright light

Feeling pretty psyched

It’s the end of my world as I know it 

It’s the end of my world as I know

It’s the end of my world as I know it, and I feel fine

Six o’clock, wake up hour, don’t get caught with Henry Bower

2020 new start, high school, stress levels through the roof

Falling behind on school work, book reading, help seeking

Anti-socialism escalate, get help or incinerate

mPOLs, social skills are questioned, step down, step down

Finally time to get some help, don’t get scared uh oh

Some more insight, it’s pretty basic, just some fight or flight

A conversion, an alteration, a change of mind

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

It’s the end of my world as I know it (I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it (I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

I feel fine (I feel fine)

It’s the end of my world as I  know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

Major change positive to negative

Examples of such, let’s go high school 

Major reinforcement , feedback and defence

Global warming backed up, walk to school shut up, boom

You symbiotic, probiotic, slam but neck, right, right

It’s the end of my world as I know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it

It’s the end of my world as I know it

It’s the end of my world as I know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of my world as I know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
