I don’t know what I did,
to deserve such cruelty.
I’ve done nothing wrong,
but I’m in this place.

They refuse to tell me what’s going on.
I’m lost and confused.
I’m in the dark,
and everyone refuses to show me the light.

I’m stuck inside this big room,
with nothing to do.
I’m going through events in my head.
I’ve got no clue.

They’re coming back,
maybe they’ll finally tell me.
They’re walking past me,
and my anger skyrockets.

I start to scream.
I hear their footsteps.
The door swings open.
I just wanted them to tell me why.

Is this about bullying? if it is then there never is a good reason why. Mostly its about them not you, they have some emotional issue they don't know how to handle so the pick on other people. My recommendation is to talk to someone, and remember you are far more then what they say you are.
