I went to school the next day,

everyone saw the bruises,

you did too.

And what really struck that home run

was that none of you did this.

So feeling as if I could trust you,

I told you guys

about someone beating me up,

about that someone being a relative

though not stating who, exactly.

But that was a mistake;

I should've known.

It was then that the bullying

started up again.

And as you watched on the sidelines,

your friends said some mean,

cruel things.

I tried to keep in the pain.

It seemed close to impossible.

Tears streaming down my face,

I ran to the bathroom,

your friends' cruel words following me.

But it's okay.

I'm fine

I'm fine

I'll be fine.
