Everyone always talks about me
Some in a good way
Others not so much
A million trips to the guidence office
They never seems to help
These people
These low, arragent people
Never seem to get enough
They want to see me cry
Sometimes I do, but they never see it
It always happens to me
Not my friend or my siblings or my enemies
Me
I don't know why I do everythig I can to be nice and respected and helpful
I guess they just don't see it
Or they are jelous like my mother says they are
What do they have to be jelous about
Nothing
I have NOTHING for them to be jelous about
So why do they hurt me?
I will never really know
The question remains
Why Me?

The author's comments:
This is a piece that is so true that it breaks my heart. These girls at my school they don't seem to like and they do everything in their power to ruin my life. It's been that way for a long time and I don't know why. I have always been nice to them!!!!

I was really able to tell what the author (you) is feeling! But maybe spice it up with some description and help out the flow? It seems a little jumpy. But I see its a true story and a little tid bit of help is to know theres always someone like you out there. That thinks the same thing! one in your school, I bet. Find whoever,and you'll be fine . (not that you aren't now, just for added happiness. ) or you've got us here on this site. We're all about support! Goodluck, :)  oh and if you have time, maybe stop by and look at my poetry? Id greatly appreciate it. Have a nice day!
