You walked
Through the halls
Of ridicule
Not knowing
Why they hate you
Not knowing
That it was because
You were being you
They were hateful
Because you
Are different
You think in a different way
You listen to different
Music
Let the insults
Wash over you
Don't take
It to heart
They are jealous
Of your strength
Your ability
To keep moving forward
With their constant
Badgering
And putting no thought behind
Their horrible lies
That spread like wild fire
Don't change that
Don't break under the pressure
Keep your walls strong
It is okay
If they shake
Don't show a weakness
It will make it worse
But you can survive
Never forget
It's not forever
