Never Give Up Life Gets Better

Subjected to torment and teasing Isn't very fun or pleasing Every day becomes a chore Not to end up on the floor From being shoved and pushed around Bruises always being found Being a human punching bag Mornings it is hard to drag Yourself out of the house and be Because you know what's up ahead Snide remarks and mental anguish Why must others act so foolish Picking on those weak and small Who just want to stand so tall Being themselves and really proud They're different from the in crowd Not giving up or giving in Knowing it would be a sin Staying true and always knowing True self should be there and showing Even if its hard to be Yourself through the insanity But sometimes grief will get you thinking You can end this hurtful taunting With one motion of a blade You will be at peace and laid Restfully with no more sorrow But don't give in because tomorrow Might be brighter than the last There'll be no more overcast Of despair that has been Keeping you alone and then You look and start to realize Other victims want to find Relief, looking for a friend Your aloneness finally ends

yes, why do some have to make it so hard for others. bullying is worse than ever. Anyway, the last part of this sweet poem made me remember when I finally stopped trying to be with the "in" crowd and I just started making friends with other girls like myself in jr. high. Soon i had a nice little circle of great friends.
