I sunk into my chair
And tucked my head feeling the dampness of my hair
I feared the morning
For it's 10:00 at night
My face was wet and my nose was runny
And at this point nothing is funny
The fabric from the chair is scratching my legs
And my nerves are sweating out in loose threads
When I hear the phone ding
My eyes start to sting
The txt
That I get
Hurst more
And more
Each time I read it
"You're ugly, and stupid go cover your face."
Sour, distaste
The stinging stops
My heart beat drops
I don't want to cry but this bullying won't stop.
