People bullied me that were of the same age
I felt completely trapped and stuck in a cage
All I could do was look away
But still having to face it every single day
Taunting, teasing and a kick in the back
The groups came in single or a pack
Being called names was the worst of them all
And to not be invited to eat in the hall
Laughing was mostly aimed at me
The outside was all anyone could see
Ugly on the outside, kind on the in
That was me, but I just could not win
I couldn't find the right place to fit
But I promised myself I would never quit
My mum found out and teachers were told
But 9 years of pain was all I could hold
All the boys were put off by my looks
And the only way I felt safe was hidden in books
Consoling myself alone on my bed
Not going out and reading instead
But in the end I realized they were wrong
They had no right so I tried to be strong
I got through school with my heart still in tact
I didn't quit and I kept my own pact
I've left the past behind and I'm the happiest I've been
I'm changing slowly and I feel I'm being seen
