Bullying

you struggle at home because you are left alone

you get abuse and want to blow a fuse

but by the time you get to school you are on the edge

so when she accidentally bumps into after saying the pledge

you hit her and make her feel bad because you are all mad

your bruises are revealed and now your shell has been pealed

you storm out but in the back of your mind this isn't over but you left her there to pout 

on the floor crying ashamed and confused 

Jessie wants answers but with none to tell her why all she does is cry

while you are home the cycle continues and now yours with Jessie is steady fueling

you join in a group that makes you feel wanted but the past you had home is almost haunted

you pick out the prey throughout the day

when she fights back you will have nothing to say
