unheard justice


the lights go dim i hear the whispers around me the eyes that stare the laughter filled in the room i look around and all i see are unfamiliar faces insecurity rushes in my body they point and mock as if i were a strange animal or exhibit push me around and throw me on the floor am i the punching bag in gym they say the phrase that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me as if they knew for a fact that words dont hurt the words "ugly" "creepy" and " fat" were thrown into the air treated as if i was an outcast in society when in reality cruel beings they were the actions and thought that ran through my head the never ending teasing where i would lay in bed at night and cry myself to sleep where life meant nothing as long as i could get away from it all home then you would think of an oasis when in reality the screaming and arguments would only make it worst a child exposed to such hate they ask for help no one listens until the child does something life threatening or worse end their life until then nothing is done no one cares the parents of those kids ask for answers and all we can do is sit here and feel bad for them until one day that child who was teased and decided to end there life is our child then the tables are turned and we ask ourselves why isnt anything being done the poor souls of children who would have made such a great impact in life now hope that justice will soon come
