Beauty is in the eye of the beholder


I am me
noone knows who I am
everyone looks at me
girls point and laugh
guys are my friends
some girls hate me for that
I am different
those girls try to make me sad
I stare back at them
I see into their souls
they become afraid
they try to point out my flaws
they are to slow and to late
I know my flaws
my flaws are none of their concern
I smile, I see their flaws
unlike them I don't point them out
I keep them to myself and smile
they don't know I know
I see them smirking
I look at them with their ghosts
they fear their ghosts
they call me names and leave
I just keep smiling
I keep my head high
I think of their flaws
when noone is there
I chuckle to myself
I see those girls for who they are
they are monsters
but somehow I'm the feared beast
I smile and stay the way I am
I am me
and I will never be them

Stay strong. This poem is from a girls perspective of other girls. This poem is of how to overcome the bullying. Keep your head high, they won't be able to pick on you forever. Bullies, they try to make you feel down about yourself, mostly so they can feel better. Don't let them get to you, I know sometimes it's hard, keeping them away. One thing that can be done is surrounding yourself around people that love and care for you. Be yourself, if someone doesn't like the way you are, and your nice as can be, don't change for them, smile and say that you like yourself just the way you are.
