Bullies

Everything is broken and torn.
You used to be liked, you could have sworn.
That's all I can say.
For this unexplainable display.

You give out all your affection.
Only to receive rejection.
They all look down on you.
You're different, unique. So, they don't know what to do.

They know you're better than all of them.
Now, the bullying begins.
They see your brilliance and want it gone.
Don't they have someone else to pick on?

You wish they would choose someone else.
But, you can't continue thinking of only yourself.
You wouldn't want anyone else to feel this way.
So, you just accept your place.

Getting tricked and laughed at.
Constantly getting called fat.
Everyone ignoring you as if you don't exist.
Why does life have to be like this?

It was years ago that they did this to me.
Now, I can clearly see.
They made me the person I am today.
I'm happy that I'll always be this way.

I see them every now and then.
I hope they're happy. I'll never be like them.
This is a thanks to the bullies.
You made me the real me.
