What is Bullying, and why does it hurt people?

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”

Till your words become repetitive, again and again hitting the same spot until it’s sore.

BLACK and BLUE

until I mute.

Your sentences makes me wonder…

Why AM  I HERE? IS IT TOO LATE TO GO?

Your words are far worse than your actions because they break me from the inside out.

It’s when I go cold, I go numb, I get choked, I get stomped

I repeat and repeat those soul-crushing words.

Manifesting them into my life.

I’m worthless and dumb

I begin scratching my arms and pulling my hair.

I’m ugly and unlovable

My tears mirror what my ears hear

I’m a mistake, a hated distraction

My blood boils taking what my mind couldn’t handle

“Your gaining weight.” they laugh

I stop eating

“Your getting too skinny.” they point

I will never be enough.

“You deserve nothing!” they spat on my walking corpse.

A soul hidden within the deepest darkest shadow.

I deserve nothing not one thing at all

Not a smile or a hug

Not one thing at all.

Not a hi nor the smallest wave

Not one thing at all.

Not a blink nor a breathe

Not one thing at all.

Not a life left to live

Not one thing at all.

REPEAT IT TILL YOU BLEED IT THEN SAY IT ONCE MORE.

Not one thing at all. Not one thing at all. Not one thing at all. Not one thing at all.

You took what I couldn’t give.

You sculped me your own

Your words had hands that wrinkled my once smooth edges.

You took away my innocence.

My mind floods with self-hatred and yolk…

You fired me up till my pot began to crack.

You slammed me on concrete with absolutely no remorse.

YOUR WORDS ARE THE ACTIONS THAT KILLED ME.

I lied endless nights and ongoing rivers with a revenge plan that all ends with me.

I told  myself you are the fault yet I am to blame.

But what do I do when the stars are no longer bright and the moon never says hi?

REPEAT IT TILL YOU BLEED IT THEN SAY IT ONCE MORE.

This life would probably be fine if those words were never heard.
