They bullied me at school,
It stayed within my mind,
The cruel words they said,
The bullies were so unkind.

They were making fun of me,
It hurt me so much inside,
They often called me names,
The tears I tried to hide.

I just wanted to be accepted,
I never really fitted in,
Bullied for being different,
They would always win.

Those days are gone forever,
The memories are still there,
My self confidence is gone,
Life seems so unfair.
