Surviving You

A poem about bullying.

A walk past you
Should mean nothing
Yet as my stride quickens
You find something to say
Anything you can say that will weaken me
Everything you say is abuse
When I try to make friends
You come up with an excuse
And I must spend more of my time
Surviving you.
As I show up less and less
Not a word is uttered about me
Nothing good, at least
My life means nothing, you always said
They're just jealous, is what I got for comfort
But guess who I believed?
As I write down my thoughts
Of leaving this life
I think of all the time I spent
Surviving you.

I really like it. I can't describe it clearly but I read it several times and could do that all over again and again ;)
