prized possession

My parents thought I was nothing

More than an inconvenience in their world.

In this place I thought I'd be much more than that,

But they all push me away as well.

They say someone like me can't

Do it better than society. 

I'll try to stand my ground

And turn the tables back around. 

I know I'll never win this battle

On my own.

My friends are there for me out of pity—

They never really loved me.

So here I am on my own

In a world where I though I wouldn't be alone

Anymore. 

I never thought I'd see you running back home.

I'm no longer shaking away the thought

Of your standard spearmint toothpaste.

You say, "Here's my confession."

I'm your most prized possession

And they'll say what they want, and try to change who you are. 

But I don't care anymore how I need to "learn my lesson"

Because in the end, you are my heaven—

My most prized possession.
