The Wallflower

Location

tick tick tick tick...

here we go again

everything I see pounding agaisnt my head

tick tick tick tick...

trying to make sense

trying to be unseen

 

fat ugly underweight too-much-makeup weird stupid stuck-up

emo prep goth ghetto nerd geek

tick tick tick tick...

publically humiliating them over and over

making them feel unwanted, unworthy

tick tick tick tick...

 

i see all this happen

store it inside

But why?

there is no one to tell no one who will stop it no one that can even try

it goes on and on

no one says anything no one thinks it's wrong no one seems to care

as long as it's not them

 

they are time bombs

each insult each humiliation another tick closer to explosion

And we wonder why fat ugly underweight too-much-makeup weird stupid stuck-up

emo prep goth ghetto nerd geek decide on suicide

tick. tick. tick. tick.
