bullying (tw bullying) all poems I post are all from my exp
The story
Leering, pointing, laughing
'Oh it's only banter'
'It's just a joke'
'We're only messing around'
'You can take a joke can't you'
I tread carefully around everywhere
Stares from everyone
Whispers and sneers
Fear weighing me down
Following the river of my tears
Every day the same
Glares and frowns
'Freak'
'She's nothing like us'
Every comment leaves a mark
Burnt into my skin
Etched into my brain
Carved into my heart
The cruel words tornadoing around my head
'Tramp'
Brusies from their bullets
Cuts from their words
Shattered like glass
Am I made of glass?

Your words are like a spotlight on the toxic culture of verbal abuse and the internal wreckage it causes. Honestly, it makes me mad just thinking about it! But hey, spotlighting this issue is a step toward change, right? Thanks for sharing such a raw and real perspective!!!! Keep pushing and fighting back; we're stronger than we know!!!
