It's not a good life, being a bug
Only a nuisance
Never noticed
Despite his talents
Despite his strengths
He is merely a bug
Fit only to be squished
Being a nerd is much the same
In a world of shallow perfection
Beauty and strength are idolized
Strength of mind, often ignored
He holds no importance there
Both bug and nerd, to survive that world
Must stand in the spotlight
And claim a place of their own
For no one would hurt a butterfly
And none ignore a champ
Both grow within the darkness
To emerge free at last
