Just because nobody sees you doing anything wrong, that doesn't mean you won't suffer consequences.


Don't tell me I can't fly
Don't tell me I shouldn't feel alive
I know what I have in store
My feet will remain on the floor 
I don't need you anymore, I never will
Don't give me that chaste gaze, you wanted me for the kill

I'm young, but I'm wise beyond my years
I'm meager, but I've got nothing to fear
I can be cruel, but my heart's not made of stone
I'm tender, but no force will break my bones
I am unbreakable
It's unmistakable
I am unbreakable
It's undeniable
I am unbreakable
It's unquestionable
I am unbreakable
You can never break me

I've got nothing to hide
Take me as a whole with nothing to divide
You can leave me in solitude
But I'm going somewhere with gratitude 
I don't need you anymore, I never will
Don't give me that chaste gaze, you wanted me for the kill

I'm young, but I'm wise beyond my years
I'm meager, but I've got nothing to fear
I can be cruel, but my heart's not made of stone
I'm tender, but no force will break my bones
I am unbreakable
It's unmistakable
I am unbreakable
It's undeniable
I am unbreakable
It's unquestionable
I am unbreakable
You can never break me
You can never break me
You can never break me


The author's comments:
A lot of personal things have inspired me for this piece. I used to bullied verbally and emotionally when I was in grade school and all through middle school; even though the bullying has stopped, the words are drilled in my brain forever. I was actually watching The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock when the thought for their poem popped up. I began writing and re-writing and writing again and again until it was near to perfection.
