Consequence

Why do you look at me with poison eyes?
Why do you spit out your venom lies?
Why do you hate me, what did I do?
Tormented forever, I think I deserve the truth
is it because I’m not perfect or perfection according to you?
I’m not skinny, I’m not pretty, I don’t use the right shampoo
My eyes too big, my lips too small, I’m way too short or much too tall
My hair’s the wrong color, the wrong style, I don’t know
So maybe I’ll shave it, to soften your verbal blows
Or does it go deeper than what the world sees?
Maybe you hate me for what I believe?
I can’t change that but I’ll try, I’ll pretend
Because it’s worth it if it will gain me a friend
I’ll say yes when my heart says no, and no when my heart says yes
Inside I’ll be dying because I’m lying, but at least I’ll be accepted by the best
I’ll change what I’m like, what I like, who I like
The things that make me…ME
Wait…stop laughing…I did this so you could accept me
I did this for your friendship, but I see it’s been done in vain
The sadness washing over me, depression like a storm before soft rains
How can I make this empty feeling go away? How do I heal my broken soul?
Is it possible for me to dig my way out of this bleak, black hole?
Maybe the answer lies in tiny rainbow pills.
One swallow with water and then no more pain to feel
Or I can jump off the edge, into the oncoming traffic, down the river, washed away
Or dangle from a rope, swaying above my bed?
What about the blade, so razor-sharp, painfully sweet.
A single slice, the beauty within me rising to the surface in bloody crimson jewels
As Death embraces me…
I see you now, you feel my chill, you beg me to forgive
And I oblige, even though it’s because of you I’ve died
And you breathe a sigh of relief as I whisper in your ear, a cry, a plea
STOP BULLYING
