The words you say,
Impact me so much,
I was called fat,
And I skipped dinner that night,
I was called dumbo,
And I cried myself to sleep,
When you called me idiot,
I hit my head five times,
I was called Ugly,
So I judged myself harder,
When you called me boring,
I took that as goodbye,
I was called annoying,
So I shut my mouth,
When you called me a freak,
I started to cry,
When I was called an attention seeker,
I couldn't help but sob,
I was called worthless,
And almost killed myself that night,
The words you have said, still stuck in my mind,
So please keep them nice,
Or I might die.

These are all words I have been called, whether at school, or at home. I'd just like to state, my teacher was the one that called me an attention seeker. Just because my anxiety didn't let me raise my hand.
