Bullied, Now Dead


They give you strange looks They talk behind your back They are the bullies in your life You can’t seem to escape them You can’t seem to stay safe You can’t even know who they really are. It’s as if they are walls Walls you can’t seem to push through They are the faceless ones to you Those who seem to come from nowhere They don’t even really know you Yet they hate you anyways You ask yourself “What did I do to deserve this?” The answer, as you know, is nothing Yet it seems that it is everything You try to make it, day by day, But you fall down Every time you try to get back up. The Earth seems to have given way beneath you, You feel as if you’re suffocating. “Why can’t they stop?” You ponder. You want to die, To keep living just doesn’t seem right. You pick up that blade for one last time, And you kiss the world goodbye. The moral of this writing, May seem quite clear to some, Bullying kills so swiftly, And yet so silently If you’re the bully, you can kill, Stop the bullying, Be bigger than that pain.

I lost the one person i really cared about when i was 7. Now i am ok with it.. Well as ok as you can be. I lost others but he was the worst one. I became emo and suicidal. I am getting better now but to me, Suicide is extreme. It effects everyone around. I want to help others battling depression and suicide because i know how bad you need someone. One day, my cutting was really bad and i was really upset that day and i started cutting on the bus and not realizing it. I was struggling and crying but they stood by me and helped me through it, as they still are. I write to let the pen and paper take the place of a blade. I have scince i was little, it was my escape. wanna know more? My poetry tells my story. But not all of it. Im open about it but i have to be asked. Im random, spontaneous in actions, and crazy, but I am me and that wont ever change.
