Is there something wrong with me? Do I deserve to be treated this way? Can no one hear my cries for help? Why do they ignore me?
Bullying is something most of us go through. The evil stares in the hallway. The laughing when we walk by. All the physical violence we have to endure. We put on a smile to hide the truth, to hide all the pain. When does the pain stop?
We want to speak up, but when we look in the mirror we make up an image of horror, to understand why. Why they want to hurt you. When you see that image that you have created in your mind you start to bully yourself You try to scream for help, but it is too late. That image you have created is now alive. It closes your mouth before anyone can hear a sound.
At night you cry alone, trying to hide from it all. You try to run away but it drags you into a deeper pain you can’t seem to bear anymore. You hold it all in trying not to show any weakness, but with every step you take you feel like everything in you life is fake. You always hear their words running circles in your head.
Everyday they punch you, hit you, but the worst pain is the words. All you can hear all day are the insults. Your once innocent heart has filled up with anger, and hatred for everyone who has ever hurt you. Forgiveness, and love leaves your mind, and heart with every word running in your mind.
Everyday it escalates into something worse. The image that you have created is gaining control of you, and you can’t stop it. At school your grades are dropping. Your life is crumbling all around you. You start to feel alone, worthless, and you start to believe everything they tell you.
Your family worries, about you. Your friends are scared for you, and you just ignore them all. Its feels like it is too late. For you your whole life is already black. Just complete darkness. All you can think is how this all started with something as stupid as bullying.
