All day, every day I'm terrified of you.
Again and again your fist makes contact with my skin.

Broken spirit, heart, will, pride.
Be happy because you broke me.

Can't you just smell the pride seeping off of you
    as you beat me up again.
Can anybody see me? Help me?

Dead.
    I'm dead.
****.

Everyone looks the other way. Nothing wrong happens in their worlds.
Even the teachers.

Fear seeps into my bones when I see you in the halls.
'*******!' I scream in my head, but can never get the words
   out my mouth.
"***" you whisper, in a way that cuts deeper than any scream.

Go away. Please.
Get bored of me.

How can someone be this awful?
Help me.

It was stupid of me to fight back, because
I can't breath after you kick me in the stomach.

Just make my life a living hell, please
   be my guest.
Justice is ****.

Keep an eye on me, in case I start to get
   happy again. That could be a problem.
Key word: Target.

Love is foreign now.
Lonely is not.

My days are black. Are you happy now?
Maybe your life is ****, so you have to make
   my life the same.

Never has someone hated me so much
   just for being alive.
Nice welcome to high school.

"Oh who would ever give a **** about you?"
Obviously, no one.

Please... Please...
People, why can't you see me?!

"Queen *****!" I call you.
"Queen of the rats" you call me.

Running, running, running again.
Running in vain for you will only get me later.

Sometimes I can avoid you, or manage to get away with
    only a shove or an insult.
Stay and beat me if you want, if it makes you feel better
   because I am giving up for now.

"Tomorrow, today won't seem so long" I tell myself.
Tell me help is coming.

Underdogs always win in the end right?
Under your power is not where I thought I would be.

Vacant are my eyes, for you have driven my soul away.
Vandalized locker, I know it was you.

When will I be safe?
What did I ever do to you?

Xanax would be perfect to OD on.

You're a monster… But
you have all the power.

Zero Bullying Tolerance, that's
   *******.

You were so nice.
And I was in love.

We would hold hands and
forget the world.
Until you got drunk
and hit me


We could laugh for hours at
a single sentence.
Go on great dates.
Then you wouldn't let
me leave


My friends and family
all said we were perfect for
each other.
I thought so too.

*Until the night I said no
and you didn't listen.

I used to dream I lived by the sea.
In my dream I loved a fisherman
who had no face.

The water felt like my home.
So inviting I became a part of it.
My love didn't mind, because he
knew what it was like.

Everyday I would swim farther
and faster
and longer
and deeper.

Until one day
I didn't go back to the surface.
I stayed in the sea
and played with the fish.

I found treasure and did tricks in the water.
I remembered my life on
land.
But the water had already seeped into my heart
and I didn't want to go back.

So I let the water embrace me
drown me
have me.
I let it have me.
