A lot of the things that've happened in my life was my fault

But this isn’t one of those sad times, I'm putting depression on halt

To address some of the things that I've seen, things that I've done,

Things that I've lost, things that I've won 

Things that have made me the happiest man alive

And things that made me wish I'd taken that nose dive.

I was one of those kids that you'd make fun of daily

Because you couldn't handle your own life, so you took it out on me.

So day after day you'd point and jeer

 Not knowing I was building up an immunity to fear.

You tried until your insults had no effect

Because I had constructed the perfect object

To detect, protect, reflect and reject

All hate and angst against you--I called it "Respect."

All of the things that have brought me down,

That tried to suffocate me and make me drown,

Just know that after each time, still I stood.

You hadn't completed the job like you thought you would.

Everything that has happened only made me stronger

Every ounce of mockery extends my life that much longer.

And to everybody who hated me then that love me now

Don't act like you tried to help when I was down.

Don't try to comfort me and say, "I was there."

Because you weren't, you weren't even near.

No one can take credit for what I've attained.

I only had me when I was mentally drained.

All the bullshit in my life has made me me

As long as there's hate, I'll always be.
