Stop
Stop asking me to rate myself
when I do that everyday
Leaving the number
in the negatives
Stop
Stop caring about my ****** knees
And bruised elbows
When the only hurt I feel
Is the one your harsh words bring
Stop
Stop letting your cuts bleed onto us
Letting their venom poison our veins
And tearing into our souls like snakes
Please. I just wanted to contribute to the school.

"Do you think you're a good SC member!?"
"Rate how good a student councillor you think you are."
"You're not even a six! You guys are a three or a four! Thats not up to standard!"
"You guys are in student council! You should step up and lead!"
"When I read your proposals, I wanted to puke, thats how bad they were."
"You're not ready to be exco next year."
"What did you learn from PT?" (Physical Training, used as punishment)
"You're supposed to learn to respect others and you say resilience!? Stay back afterwards."
My parents: "and the teachers let them do that?"
