Beep. Beep. Beep.
As the alarm clock awakes me to my hell,
I’ll tell you a story, I swore to never tell

I get dressed trying to impress,
Putting on makeup looking my best

Smiling at the girl I see,
Knowing that they will never see me

Remembering the taunting eyes in the hall,
And the things they wrote on the bathroom stall

The bruises that trace my spine,
And how I tell myself it will all be fine

No matter how many times the rubber band snaps again,
I could never turn around and yell at him

Tears trace the surface of my reflection’s ugly face,
Somehow I don’t fit in, I don’t have a place

I am a broken wing on a beautiful bird,
And I am a voice that screams, but left unheard

Some teachers see it all, why don’t they stop it,
Why don’t they make them quit?

I am alone, and I am afraid,
I am singed, burned, frayed

The world has exiled me from happiness,
Life has rattled me up and made me a mess

Bullying is silent, no one hears,
And I am left to drown in my own tears
