Leave Me Alone


Don't you get it 

I'm a stranger to my own skin

A burden to my own soul

Why do you constantly torment me

Since seventh grade you make fun of

The clothes i wear my size my face 

Everything about me

I used to not care 

But then you talked about one thing

That drew the line you really made me feel a 

Deep wound down deep inside

All this stress all my fears faded away

It turned into straight anger

Leave me alone i really just want you to

Leave me alone i dont want to feel depressed because of 

your words

My dad tells me, "sticks and stones may break your bones

but words may never hurt me"

I don't like being bullied its not Fair 

It makes me feel like i'm unaware

Why do you treat me like this please just leave me alone

I'm so alone so afraid 

Can you hear my cries hear my screams

I'm asking you to please just leave me to be 

My own INDIVIDUALITY
