A grin painted on her face,
eyes staring into space.
At school she acts like she's fine.
The bullies, the teasing, she doesn't
mind.
But deep down, she's crying out loud.
Begging to break from the snickering
crowd.
"Nerd, loser, slut, and whore"
She can't take it anymore.
Their punches, taunts, and sneers.
That's all she ever hears.
She's imprisoned by flaws that aren't
real.
Wishing someone could know how she
feels;
To deal with the wicked and cruel.
To be bullied at school.
