They call me dirty,
they call me fake,
they call me stupid,
they hope I will break.
They push and pull, they trip me
and I fall.
Down into the abyss,
their screams are loud
but mine so quiet.
I am afraid of the silence,
the darkness that comes with it.
I'm empty, I'm cold,
No longer am I bold,
they shattered my pieces,
they scattered my heart,
they ripped my emotions out,
and pulled me apart.
Now I am a mess, crying for my fears,
But what I cry are not tears,
they're worth something in return,
a hug, a kiss? An emotional churn.
I am not worthless,
I'm not a freak,
I'm not a shitty, pathetic geek.
I'm a human, I breathe life,
I make my choices well,
I'm no longer the person you saw before,
you will not break my shell.
