Water trickles down your face,
Like every scar,
Meant to make its place,
You try to hide them,
Cover your face,
But once your have them,
You can’t make them be replaced,
Funny how that sadness turns to rage,
Over time your madness over takes,
And soon the weakness,
Becomes the strongest bully of all.

The author's comments:
I hope people will understand that bullying not only hurts the self-esteem but it kills them LITERALLY in their own little way, and it will eventually beat the person down for good. This is for the people who need to realize DON'T LET THEM BEAT YOU!
