The Girl Who Was Wronged

I held my breath and sat silently,

While others in the room chatted but not so quietly.

I stared at the paleness of the walls,

A sting in the caused many waterfalls.


They didn't not know of the unpeace of my mind,

I did not tell them about the bullying because they were too blind.

They should have noticed and let their words come out,

I was alone while the months ran long and all I wanted to do was to scream and shout.


To let it all out;


To get out of this prison a cage which held me locked away,

From everyone who only peaked at me once or twice my way.

They did not see the lie behind my smile,

Drawing a mask to protect the one who acted so vile.


Hour by hour I cried and felt empty,

Because my heart was ripped out by the one who once made me feel completely accepted.

I was a girl from a different country and my tongue stood out strongly,

So they laughed and thought so wrongly.


Now I'm better than them correcting their errors,

Becoming their own night terrors.
