Bullies and Authorities

I am a school kid just trying to hang on
Going to school and just trying to be strong
They push me around telling me how it's to be
They push too hard but the punishment is for me
I defend myself the best that I know how
They push only as far as I can allow
I'm losing my head but still try to hold the peace
Yet they go so far. My anger will only increase
I have so much love for the world and it's glory
But they push me in a corner and trouble is my story
I want to be known for all the love I've been given
To live my life in peace and my ways of defense are forgiven
Time here with each other is already so very short
It's not worth living your life in the eyes of the court
I try to keep that in mind as I'm pushing them away
Although this stress of defense goes on day after day
How will they stop if I do nothing for me
Being in a fight is all the authorities will see
I try to explain but my explanation is nothing but a word
I'm not trying to escape but I'm needing to be heard
I'm not a fighter but will not go down without a fight
Why can't everyone just get along and do what's right
