Unblinking eyes, plastic smiles Not seeing me, this thing defiled No friends, many enemies No one cares about me Shunned kids at school Not good enough, too uncool Taking me to my limit I just kept on taking it Pushing it down deep inside Shows itself as I hide A target, bullied every day I die a little more each day Collapsing inside, heart first Don't they how much it hurts? In private, hot tears slide Won't let them take my pride I pretend that I don't care Don't return their cold stares Rush back home to get away Don't want to be bullied today
I wrote this for my sister after finding out she was bullied in school as a child.
