By the way

Bitch by Meredith Brooks

 

By the way...

(autistic community version)

 

I hate the world today

Just never my day

Will that ever change

Tried to talk to you

But you stare like I’m crazy

I’m Au-thentic underneath

more than your eye meets

Yesterday I died

My heart broke and had to be revived

Couldn’t understand how I felt so confused

But now I see the truth

I was hit a bit by everything

All rolled into one

Not a freak

Not a loser

Not a child

Not a monster

Not a sinner

That I ain’t

I will not feel ashamed

Was in hell

Not my dream

Just want to scream

You never got to know me by the way

So take me as I am

This may mean that I might have to take a stand

Rest assured that living shouldn’t make you nervous

No more lives in extremes

Tomorrow it will change

And yesterday won’t mean a thing

Not a freak

Not a loser

Not a child

Not a monster

Not a sinner

That I ain’t

I will not feel ashamed

Was in hell

Not my dream

Just want to scream

You never got to know me by the way

I know what you thought

You had me all figured out

No this isn’t me changing

If it’s cool with you I will be true

And don’t try to change me

Not a freak

Not a loser

Not a child

Not a monster

Not a sinner

That I ain’t

I will not feel ashamed

Was in hell

Not my dream

Just want to scream

You never got to know me by the way

Not a freak

Not to tease

I won’t fall to my knees

Words that hurt

Made me suffer

Was lost undercover

I’ve been numb

I’m revived

And now I feel alive

Now please get to know me, by the way

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh

 

All my best and love

Ross

Unmasking was like being given a redacted file after only ever seeing the redacted one before.
