School is a place of fear

Waking down the hallways 

I question why am I here?

It's the same thing everyday

They will push me

Say mean things to my face

But I won't let them get to me

Letting them see me cry, is not the case

 

I try to hide and not show my face

But they always find me and do it all over again

Why can I never escape this chase?

How do they do this? Isn't it enough pain?

 

Lunch is the worst

I have no one beside me

They are all dispersed

But they continue to watch me

As I take out my bread

All they do is snicker

I can't look ahead

I wish lunch would go by quicker

 

Gym is just as bad

They pick their teams

Whose stuck with me is quite mad

But I am before others it seems

But whenever they same my name

A sigh is always there

Then during the game

I don't have much to do except stare.

 

Its not just school it's home too

Coming home to a mother always in a bad mood

Who is always neglecting you?

And let me not start on the limited food

Living in a rich neighborhood is one thing

But being the only poor one is another

Looking around they live like queens and kings

And then theres me and mother... 

She doesn't even care

All she does is complain

She acts like I'm not there

Won't look in my eyes full of pain

 

I thought life was supposed to be fun!

Not full of depression, bullying and sadness

When will my life have some sun?

I need to leave this town and it's madness...

Sometimes I want to die.

Sometimes I question my life

But I hold on and won't say Goodbye

I refrain from taking the knife..

 

Last night Ali killed herself

I wish for her I could've been there.. 

I wonder if it would be easy to do the same to myself

I know I can't. I have to make things fair

Those bullies that hurt her everyday 

They are the ones to blame

Don't they know this is not okay?!

Things can't stay the same

 

Suicide is a thought in many minds

But we have so much to live for

So many people are blind

They don't see this war

The war we go through everyday 

But we can make a change

We don't have to live under the clouds so gray

I know it might be strange

But if we stand up together 

We can help these teens

They won't have to suffer through the bad weather

And we can change by all means

 

So go ahead, insult my hair

Go ahead insult my clothes and shoes

Go ahead insult my lunch, I don't care

Go ahead say something what to I have to lose?

I am stronger now

And I won't let them get to me

I am braver now

And I finally feel free
