Suffocating Darkness, Raging Spotlight

Sat, 06/22/2013 - 19:08 -- Wethnie

They dont see my big heart crying for a chance

They dont see me shaking holding in all my pain

They dont see the tears that drown my pillow

They dont see the bruises that their fellow teens have done to me

They hear the rumors and so they dont see me

The darkness suffocates me when I'm all alone

The spotlight above when I'm near you all

Has got to be the worst of it all

I hear the whispers, I feel the beatings, I taste the salty tears of my shame

I see their glares, I smell the disgust radiating off all of you

One simple mistake that has you all gaining up on me

I'm not a killer, I'm no criminal

I'm a teen who's being bullied

I'm a teen who's been beaten every single day by my peers

I'm a teen who's been called every name in the book

I'm a teen who cant cry no more

I cant take their abuse

I cant take knowing that I've been shunned for such a pety thing

I cant take this life anymore

I'm a teen who's getting bullied

And I've taken away my life.
