Shaped by cruelty



They laughed out loud, for being fat. Turned myself into a thin bat, yet they laughed.

They screamed in my face for being ugly. I didn't know, they would still scream when i'm pretty.

They called me lazy, when, was Silently struggling with my mind.

After all of this, they asked me "Why did you change"?
