Bullying


As I lay in my bed, all those words replaying over and over in my head. I hear the sound of a new text on my phone, and once again I wish they would just leave me alone. I cry and cry some more, wishing people didn't think I was such a whore. What everyone sees me as is so untrue, what they don't realize is I'm just trying to be like you. I just want everyone to like me for me, but instead they want me to be something I just can not be. I hurt every day, hoping someone or something will take me away, away to a better place, where I can just lay down, lay down pain free.
