We are what we are
To be all we can be
In life like a star
To show what we can see

The path is windy
Never straight and narrow
We are here to learn
As a bow does for an arrow

Though you walk the footsteps
You will never be alone
Stick to who you are
The process has been shown

Why are you doing this to me?
What did I ever do to you?
Is it my fault that I look like the perfect victim?
Why are you saying such mean things?
I just sat down right next to my best friend
on this hot and sweaty bus
Then you start
I never even met you before
nor have I ever saw you
You arne't teasing me
but something else
it's not bullying
it only happed today
Why?
the other day the vice principal stepped on my toe
As if I was invisible
Why am I not invisible to you?
No one ever told me middle school would ever be like this
once you escape an obstacle
another one will come flying towards you
whether or not you are prepared
Why do people laugh with you?
What did I do to you?
I just minded my own business
and yet you hurt me with such horrible words
Why?

home is not a place
it is never a place

it is a feeling

sometimes,
if you’re lucky

it is a person
