Hey, I'm just a kid....


I used to go and play outside,
Now I sit alone and cry.
I used to like to run and ride my bike.
Now I hate things I used to like.

My friends don't understand the change
They say I'm freaky and that I've changed.
I have a secret I can't tell,
Cause if I do, I'll go to hell.

I met some kids who heard me cry
They didn't make fun or ask why.
They knew my secret yes it's true.
What happened to me, happened to them too.

It's not my fault
What the bad one did,
It's not my fault
I'm just a kid.

I told my secret
Someone cared,
And I've got so much to share.

I'm a super special
Terrific kid.
It was wrong
What that person did.

I told my story,
I was really scared,
But I know that people
Sure do care.

For all the kids
Who're just like me
Tell your secret
And be free!!
