Once I had a heart
But it shattered like glass
When you ridiculed me
About the size of my ***
Everyday recess
A personal hell
Sweating and fearing
The sound of that bell

I can't help
My only happiness is to fill my face
And of course I know
My size is a disgrace
But even though I'm huge
Can't you give me some space
Trapped in this torso
A huge lonesome place

Once I had feelings
But they froze just like ice
And no you don't have to tell me that twice
How enormous I am
Just once will suffice
Just once would be nice

Every day
You ridicule and taunt me
Every day
Your words my shame they haunt me
I pay and pay
But you never want me
To come and play
Everyday
I cannot get away

Shards of glass
My shattered heart
I chomp and I choke
My insides sliced apart
I am one big fat joke
It never ends

It
Never
ENDS...
Bullying hurts, tends, tears, and sometimes even kills.  I survived.  Quash it when you see it...your peers, our children, in person, on social media, however...wherever.
