Made an outcast and pushed to being homeschooled in the sixth grade

Looked down upon by people who never even knew her name

She is the definition of a survivor

From the verbal abuse from kids at school

To the physical abuse from her father at home

Cast out; Forced to be alone

Bruises made daily compared to the cuts made every second

Laughed at for her hair colored pink; Just cause her mother had breast cancer she decided to support it

They never understood why she did things the way she did

She was a soldier of her own kind

Fighting for herself, her family, and her friends when others wouldn't 

Overwhelmed with the abuse of everything around her

Fifteen years of so much shame

Ended by her own hand when everything seemed to be the same

Yet in death she found fame

Inspiration swelled in my heart as I remember the change she made

In me...
