I was bullied

I was bullied In the sixth grade
"I used to laugh with friends"
At the time I thought they were my friends
Over the next few days I felt socially isolated from the group
"They beat me over and over"
Those girls pushed me down a flight a stairs
While my ex best friend literally stabbed me in my back
I lost all my courage and hope for a better day
"my freedom to walk in school was over"
I was bullied
And sexually abused
I started to cut and cut
To the point where it was normal for me "my heart aches but shed no tears"
People called me names and I was humiliated for months at a time "I used to cut myself every day"
Never ever once heard anyone call me beautiful except for my mother
"I was strong"
I don't cut myself anymore and I'm stronger
My name is Jaedlyn and I am beautiful

Yes you are, beautiful, and
stronger... for your honest bravery in sharing this with us all.

this was basically my childhood as well...emotional neglect...abuse
physically beaten...told I deserved it from my
own mother. used by friends...bullied in
school, beat up there as well. .morning after I tried to
commit suicide, I was 16 (came very close); my father called me an a*****e.
later on, disowned me. did me a favor.

due to this I began drinking heavily, try coke,
burning myself with lighters, tried
To again commit suicide three times. then I discovered
writing...only I didn't write eloquent poems like you have
in this write...just letters venting out my anger.

all this made me stronger and immune to what or how
others perceive me...And more determined to reach my
goals, dreams.

it doesn't matter how others feel about
You...only matters how you think/feel about yourself.

people will continuously try to break you down so they
can compensate for their inferiority complex, feel better about
their pathetic selves. don't let them!!!!

Very well crafted poem, pleasing rhyme and again eloquent
in its honesty. Very relatable as well. stay strong, and
keep writing! :))))))))

Thank you...in a way I'm thankful it turned out that way.

Take care and be well :)
