Stand My Ground

Students walking through the halls Cluttering the air with chatter, As I walk silently by Heading off to my next class. Just a typical bookworm Trying my best to stay out of trouble, Yet trouble kept bombarding me Just like students paper balling a chalk board. Bullies trying to put the blame On the innocent to be given shame Just so they can cover their tracks Make the good look like the bad. They don't understand just how I feel When you put the blame on the pure Your just making up a lie To keep them from the truth. I try to stand my ground Not wanting to be put down From their snickers and words To being locked in the dark. When your pushed to a corner You have to act on action To get through the fight Against my bullies. When words fail to reason Cornered from all sides You have to follow instinct And raise up your fists To bring down the instigator. I'm just a bookworm Different from the rest I must do all I can To survive in this jungle.
