Every day she is faced with pain
Because people call her horrible names
They swear they are just joking
But she knows that it’s more than a game

Her clothes might not be in style
And she might be smart
But that does not mean people should play
With her fragile heart

Sometimes she can’t hear what they say
But she finds out how
They talk on the internet about her
And how she should die right now

They laugh and tease behind her back
Making her want to cry
And she sits alone at lunch
Trying to figure out why

The people she called friends
Were the ones that teased the most
And she walks down the hall with her head down
Trying to disappear like a ghost

She doesn’t know how long it will last
The bullying they do
She sits and waits for the bell to ring
Signaling the day is through

She has dealt with all her fears
Even the difficult ones
But she sits and thinks of the day
When the bullying is done

But that day has come and she made a decision
She said, “No more pain for me”
She took a step off the edge
She was only thirteen
