when i wake up,

i want to cry.

but i don't.

because i will not let their words get to me

when i get dressed,

i look in the mirror

and wince

but i brush it off,

because i will not let their words get to me.

when i brush my teeth

and hair,

i just want to crawl back in bed.

but i don't.

because i will not let their words get to me.

when i get to school,

i can't go in.

but i do anyway.

because i will not let their words get to me.

when i walk to class,

i hear them whisper,

but i ignore them.

because i will not let their words get to me.

when i eat lunch alone,

and i hear them laughing at me,

i keep eating,

because i will not let their words get to me.

when i need a partner for class,

and i hear them fighting to not end up with me,

i will not runaway.

because i will not let their words get to me.

whe i go home,

and only when i'm alone,

i allow one single tear to fall,

because that is one more tear then they deserve.
