In need

June 11, 2014

 

As I lay on the ground 
I wonder why 
I didn't stick  up for myself 
I promised myself this would be the last time 
But I guess it wasn't enough 
The names hurt 
But I don't answer to them 
As the blood climbed its way down my clothes 
The kids started to laugh even more 
Which made me want to cry 
I couldn't move a muscle 
I've learned never let the enemy see you cry 
My body ached 
No one wasn't around to help 
I became my own motivation and Pushed myself to stand up on my feet 
I broke down 
I slept there that night 
No one really cared where I was
All I knew I couldn't wait for tomorrow 
Tomorrow, the same thing happened again ,
And again 
Until there wasn't any blood left to accidentally drip 
Is there anyone out there to help me 
A bloody nose , a busted lips and swollen eyes won't stop them from getting to me ,
Is there anyone out there 
I just need friends
