Im Fine

I walk the halls of my school People laughing at me from every direction I find my friend and she looks at me and says Are you okay? I say ¨I´m fine¨ Next day I get pushed to the ground People point and laugh at me I get up and walk to the bathroom My boyfriend who´s also in there asks Are you okay? Again I say ¨I´m fine¨ Next week I get told I´m worthless I get pushed again and again I see my friend crying and ask Are you okay? They say no and ask for help I go home and my dad yells at me for not being home sooner He yells and slaps me again and again I go to the bedroom and cry My sister comes in and asks Are you okay? I once again say ¨I´m fine¨ I always say I´m fine when people ask Are you okay? The words I´m fine are the only ones I can say The only ones my friends every hear when they ask Are you okay? I say I´m fine because I don´t want them to deal with my problems I say I´m fine because I´m to scared to say otherwise I´m to scared to say how I actually feel I don´t want others to leave me because I´m weak So I say I´m fine.

Noah, this is bad abuse, if true (and I must believe you/the writer). Why not say, "I have been attacked, BUT I AM FINE"? So glad u found a place to write what U have not - yet - said to family, friends, school officials (or 911). shalom, shalom. Prayers, Anil Deo
