The glares, laughter, words
Slice through my weak barriers
Their venom burning through my veins,
Don’t they see the damage they reap?

Broken and bleeding
I stumble through the hallways.
A prison I’m forced into from birth.
The older we get,
The more creativity pours into their scheming minds.
Again I ask, can’t you see,
What it is you’re doing to me?

It’s been years now.
I feel it’s never ending.
Permanently marred.
Scarred wrists, and scarred heart.
I’m lost forevermore.
Who am I?

Am I who you say I am?
Those accusations that run through my mind,
Is that truly me?
It must be, as it is unanimous.
What has become of me?

This peice is about my dealing with bullying, and how people really need to think about what they're doing when they speak. They need to think about how their words will effect the person they are speaking to.
