A Real Name.
It's not the first time you've given in 
 To piercing pain and taunting mind games 
 Vibrant red at the touch of a blade 
 The marks you make are always the same 
 
 But I won't call you emo 
 Because that is not your name 
 
 On the day that you were born 
 You were butt naked as can be 
 Your own parents didn't see a s***
 But the cutest baby they're ever seen 
 
 But I won't call you a w****
 Because that is not your name 
 
 On a roll, as high as you can be 
 Nothing rules you more than your own thoughts 
 You think there's no use to fight the addiction 
 Day after day, it's all that you got 
 
 But I won't call you a druggie 
 Because that is not your name 
 
 On the field you're called superstar 
 But they can't see past who you are 
 How you long for a dream of your own 
 Smarts not sports- they won't let you go that far 
 
 But I won't call you a jock 
 Because that is not your name 
 
 A little different, you love someone else 
 They're never know, they can't tell 
 But when you come out all you see 
 Is how much you're trapped in a personal hell 
 
 But I won't call you a f*****
 Because that is not your name 
 
 Think and go back to day one 
 The day you got your real name 
 No one cares for it anymore 
 They've made their own and made them stay 
 We're all individuals from head to toe 
 No one's alike, yet we're one in the same 
 
 So I'll remind you, we're all unique 
 And that is why we were given our own names.
