They're the Ones

Those who reject us,
Those who don’t know us,
Those who don’t realize,
Shouldn't matter to us.

When they don’t realize,
When they don’t care,
They hide behind empty words,
And faked apologies.

They don’t care about the tears,
About those that are left behind,
About those with crushed dreams,
They don’t have time for that.

So if they don’t care about us,
Us as people, not just numbers,
Then why should we care?
Why let it get to us?

Those who reject us,
Those who don’t know us,
Those who don’t realize,
Shouldn't matter to us.

They see us as words on a sheet,
Not humans, but numbers,
Things they can just toss away.
Why should we let them?

This number rejects them.
Why let them get under our skin?
Make us feel inadequate?
Let them crush our hopes?

They don’t know us well enough,
They can’t tell from that little bit,
To see the diamonds in the rough,
The precious gems inside all of us.

Who are they to tell us,
That we’re not good enough?
Shove the rejection in their faces.
They don’t deserve us.

They who reject us,
They who don’t know us,
They are the ones who suffer,
Because they lose out,

On the chance to know us.
