When I didn't want
To go to school
Everyone asked
If I was getting bullied
The truth is
I was never bullied
By my friends
By my peers
By any other student
But I was constantly
Bullied
By my parents
And by teachers
Called stupid
Called irresponsible
Called disrespectful
Not good enough
Not trying
A liar
And I couldn't tell anyone
The problem
Because the thing was
They were the problem
And I was always
So scared
Scared to go to school
Because I would be told
Those things
By the very people
Who were supposed
To make it better
