As I walk through the halls
They look at me and laugh
They call me names
And call me words
They don’t know how much it hurts
They push me into lockers
And shove me into walls
They are true bullies
I wish they knew what it did to me
They don’t know about me crying all night long
Or the marks on my hands from hitting things
They made me hurt and I needed to let it out
I let it out
Now I feel a lot better
It still hurts sometimes
But I figured out a better way to let out hurt and anger

My freshman year I was bullied and picked on. Nobody should have to go through what I went through.

You're absolutely right, nobody should be bullied...but the truth is, people are singled out to make the bullies feel 'normal', if you know what I mean. Like, at least that person's weirder than me, or less popular. Great article, by the way, and I hope your post helps people deal with bullying, and also gives the bully an insight into the tortured life they create, too.
