Betrayal


Rumors passed around school with everyone knowing about her

But no one can help her, they don't understand

The girl is nervous from all the eyes on her, the long gazes and quickly averted eyes

Wishing she kept her mouth shut and never revealed her precious secret.

Teachers notice but can't explain why it happens, whispering among themselves

"Knock it off!" The girl finally snaps and flees

through tears and hiccups, regret thick in her voice

But the looks won't stop.

Some guys trail her from class, following her from her locker to the bathroom

where they corner her, and attack.

"How does this feel? Don't you want us instead of another bitch?" They sneer, grasping at her flesh

Tearing her clothes from her shivering body, they become malicious

Surrounding her with a aggressiver lesson in mind.

She cries, wondering why it happened again since she came out

Rumors passed around school with everyone knowing about her

But no one can help her, they don't understand.
