Cyber Harassment

"Why do you have to be so mean
Does it bother you that I post
For you always commenting,
saying bad things my way" 

It's gotten to a point I'm afraid of being online
Cause they're trolls waiting to strike
While all I do is strike a pose
They're there to strike me down with hate 

And when I don't post they're on my timeline
Making a mess of it calling me names
All because I chose to have some little fun
Now they're even trying to turn everyone against me 

They've made me insecure with how I look
I had to stop posting all at once
For they'd pick on me while I already had my issues
Now I get to hear them being hurled at me like I won't be enough 

Once someone just called me
To insult me over and over again 
I cut the call several times,
But it went on and on he didn't tire 

"Why are they being so mean
I guess behind their phones
They've got nothing better to do
Faceless people who afraid to say it in person"
