From a Bullied Teen
I'm sending you these final thoughts since I'm no longer there
It was so hard for me to find somone who really cared
I had dreams like everyone I hoped to fulfill
Not forced to do something that was against my will
But as I began to grow things began to change
And people starting saying I was acting very strange
Then it got to the point that every single day
Someone would attack me with the words they would say
I listened to that junk so long it eventually sank in
And all I heard were voices telling me I'd never win
You don't know how hard it was for me to take my life
I regret that my family is now living with the strife
I tried my best to come up with a better plan
But unless you've walked in my shoes you don't really understand
Yet if you'd really taken time to get to know me well
You would have seen everyday my life on earth was hell
People thought it was funny I became joke of the day
So finally I just thought it best if I just went away
I wouldn't want anyone to go through the pain I had
To tell someone they don't count is really very sad
Dont make the same mistake I did by forcing to give in
You never know what waits for you just beyond the bend
