Cuts like a knife

I try in desperation to avoid you

To stop myself looking into

Those hypnotic blue eyes.

Your penatrating stare cuts

through me jolting me from

my sense to doom.

You make me think of 

my weaknesses. My lack of 

confidence, my shyness.

The sniggers in the corridor,

The smirk on your face

Your high pitched laughter.

The pushing and pulling

Shouting and cursing.

What have I ever done to you?

Why can't you just leave me

alone and stop your hatred

because very soon I'm going to break.

My heart cannot take much more

Of hurt and the ache that grows 

stronger for someone to care.

No one seems to understand 

My problems or me never mind

the thoughts encircling my mind.

The fear never leaves you 

Regardless what happens,

Regardless who says "It's Ok"

Nothing solves the problem

No one ever will.

I gave up asking for help

A long time ago

Because no one ever listens

No one takes heed

Of my worries or fears

The tales I tell

They say "It can't be that bad"

But it is, and I'm the one who

feels it. Feels the blows come

down upon me with a crash.

Feels the words icy cold 

That mean far more

Than  letters on paper.

I feel those words 

I feel them break my heart

Break my soul.
