Ugly and stupid is how you call me because you never knew my name;
You have never seen anything good in me;
You think my clothes are hideous, You think I’m weird;
You don’t like the kind of music I listen to;

You abuse me physically, emotionally, and mentally;
You think you own me and you can do whatever you want with me;
You think global warming is my fault;
You wish that I was never born;

Why, Why, Why?
What have I ever done?
Is it because I’m too weak or too vulnerable?
Do you feel better when you make me feel worthless?

I will no longer stay silent;
I shall talk, and people shall hear me;
I will stand up with my head high;
I shall no longer be subject of abuse.

This piece is about bullying. I think every victim should stand up and start speaking for themselves.
