Words that Bleed

Being a 16 year old girl, I've been bullied multiple of times. So here's a poem that I dedicate to every bully out there.

These bruising words in my head,

make me wish I was dead.

So insecure, so troubled,

I wish I didn't have to live with this struggle.

Look in the Mirror, what do you see?

a beautiful girl with scars that bleed.

Your actions hurt, your actions kill,

but to you they're nothing so you continue to Spill.

What if I dissapeared today,

would you take the blame, or say I was ok.

Would you come to my planting to say lovely things?

or would you find a new victim until her life is ending.

This cycle is funny,

it always goes on.

But this time you won't break me,

this time I'll be strong.

So please take your cutting words,

and put them in a safe.

Those words should never be heard,

by a victim who feels unsafe.

Great finish as you take control. No matter the treatment or abuse by others in words and deeds do not let them define us. Ignore the negative and abusive words and be the person you know you are. Only you can define who you are and who you will be. Great piece and well done.

There's this saying that the world will lick you whole, if you are too sweet. Great choice of words, I like the part you resolved to be strong. The world feels no need for victims, just people who can stand for their own.... Excellent job.
