you follow me around,
you call me a freak
you pull on my backpack
and make me feel weak
you're mean and you're hurtful,
words harder than stones
i'm terrified of you
I'm sure you've heard of Athena vs. Arachne
The infamous rivalry and it's kind of wacky
If you have or haven't make sure to keep reading
This story is nothing like you've been believing
A child of ten years,
And a invisible puppeteer,
Stumbled upon each other in a forum.
They grew closer and closer,
But little did the child know,
They would break their heart.
My words are deafened by the sound of an unspoken tongue;A language more ancient than mankind itself.She uttered phrases that Shepard's used to heed their sheep
She wears a shimmering skin of silicon and lace. Reflected in a silver screen is the soft curve of her face. Her eyes are lit from within with a gentle buzzing glow, but their soft shine conceal a pain no one will ever know.
It's okay little girl it'll be alright,One day those bullies won't make you cry.It's okay little girl it'll be alright,One day those rumors won't fly in the sky.It's okay little girl it'll be alright,Your mom'll always be there to hold you tight.I
Plastic Shadows
Fake lies
Screams that slowly die,
But where do I come into play?
Oh, I remember now -
The blood rolling down my sleeve...
Flashbacks of being shoved
-like a ragdoll.
It’s important to delete cyber bullying because it’s all in the headlines. “Teen commits suicide after being cyber bullied” plagues the news.
A smile speaks for itself.
It can make people melt.

Can you see their true self?
A smile holds a thousand words.
A smile can hide away what they truly feel.
He didn’t fit into the “in crowd”Just because he wasn’t allowed.But coming home to screams and shouts.
Scared of being judged by the wandering eyes.

Unaccepting glances create adversity.
We are all young,
We tend to push people down, and make them feel worthless.
but yet, we know we are doing these things and not stopping them.
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But my bones can heal
Say what you need to say
Say what you want to say
But say not what will break me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
I've got you in my bare hands.
Yet it's as if I am at your command.
It's no wonder you have a reputation for being so witty.
You know my secrets and at times they're for you to keep.
I can see you
feverishly stabbing away at your keyboard
the glare of the computer screen illuminating your countenance
You cant help me fix myself
Everything is just of a reflection of yourself.
Why are you hiding from it all?
Why am I crying and about to fall?
Im torn open
You can't SEE what has happened.
Seventeen years of observing others
Seventeen years of sitting in a corner.
Just watching form a distance or nearby
To the point you start to understand.
Understand others and their action
They sent their kids to get an education
But what they got was a nasty situation
They thought their kids would be laweyers and doctors
They never thought they'd be victims and martyrs
Welcome to hell
“They r just (w)ordz.”
Tell that to the suicidal kids
Taking it everyday, silent
Letters (o)n a screen, never quite heard
Yet stings of fag and slut ringing in the head
You say it's better not to know.
It won't get out the window.
I'll never tell,
Until you ring the bell.
The bell of permission.
About your secret mission.

She’s living in hell amongst demons yet some say she looks heavenly.
They say listen to your heart, don't listen to your mind,
But what they don't realize is that's just a waste of time.
You got people over here actin' like they cool,
Tryna' be popular but they really old school.
So you think that you are brave?
Hiding behind your words so foul
It could make a soul roll up and shatter
Better them than me?
But I don’t agree with them
You know that girl who's always smiling?
The one that laughs at everyone's jokes?
Can you tell on the inside she is dying?
A pain that even Hell can't invoke.
It is because she is different.
The tears were streaming
down my face,
happy thoughts
I could not retrace.
I stare up at
my computer screen,
social media
can be so mean.
I type my goodbyes
Go ahead, I know I'm mean
I'm bearly turning seventeen
Say what you want, it can't bother me
I'm too grown up, to read what you put type about me
School is important, I'm keeping my eye on that
This to you, if you are a person who bullies I hope you hear
I hope you listen to what I've got to say
This is you , the victim , I want to tell you not to fear
What is there to do?
When the big kids beat up the little ones.
When the little ones were afraid to speak up
to defend themselves or their peers.
No one would say a word
Behind the safety of the computer,
Bullies feel safe.
The steady rise of these bullies
Cause the increase of teen suicides.
Facebook.
The top social media site
That millions use,
A thought is clacked out
The clacks speed up, words flow out
The clacks slow down, letters slowly rise
The clacks stop completely, a dot seals the line
The mouse whirrs speedily, click click, click click
Bruises all over me
And my body is very weak
I can barely move
My mind is twisting in circles
What is there to do?
Would anybody believe my story?
The dark sky is filled with strange dark clouds
Every night it’s hard for me to sleep
Dreaming of being attacked
Makes me not want to eat
I can hear the bully calling my name
To tell me who I am,
Is to waste your needless breath.
My youth is evidence,
To fit in
In the end
Will make you fit out.
The struggle of peer pressure.
Suicide! Suicide! Suicide!
What would you do if I wasn't here?
Would half of you shed a tear?
You think you know me
Can you can tell everything I'll ever be
Think you can tell who I am.
You say things to tear me down
What would you do if I wasn't here?
Would half of you shed a tear?
You think you know me
Can you can tell everything I'll ever be
Think you can tell who I am.
You say things to tear me down

How can you try to understand me
You aren’t me
So how can you try to see
See how I tick
I cant take it anymore!
Any place and every place I'm mocked, bullied, and abused,
every step I take is pure pain,
and every breath is that much longer with this horrid pain.
Peace is something I've never known,
I'm my own person,
I'll fly with my colors or my style,
You can't hold me down,
With your collar and sting of insults
and words to shame me.
I'm sitting here
On the bathroom floor
The water surrounds me in an ever changing pool of tears
I search the vastness of the floor
And find in my vision
The bottle of pills
Now empty but for a few
Does it make you feel better
to hurt me with your words?
Does it help your self-esteem
to put me in a world of hurt?
Her hearts been fighting for a while now,
Her eyes have stopped their crying now.
She will pull her self together,
for one last call.
This is her break down,
her call for help
when all else has failed.
This light is fading
These eyes are crying
This blood is flowing
These hands are shaking
My mind is wondering why
It's me that has to die
My heart is telling me
All I had to do was try
Unable to learn "properly"
Unable to communicate "properly"
People think it means they are stupid
Or retarded is the word used
Most often nowadays
They think these people
Will never be able to
Insults and taunts
Whispers and rumors
Words swirling and circulating
Around and around the school
About me
About you
About him
About her
About us
About them
About everyone
Dark salt water drips on lined paper
A shaky hand scribbles
Dear mom_
Stops_ heaves a sigh
Purple and blue color his face
His body
Pain
Crippling
Silent screams pour into his mind
