Childhood bullying!! ☆

I was a child when I started being bullied,

"Boy will be boys" they will say,

The words were small,

They left tattoos,

breaking my heart.

"Children will be children"

I was a child too.

I was soft.

I was kind.

I was made hard and angry.

The words left scars,

They left scrapes,

They left burn marks,

I was too far gone when I finally could stand.

I was frail and pale.

Nobody wants to play with the vampire child,

Nobody likes zombies,

Nobody came to save me.

I became hard and tough,

It's hard living like this,

It's hard being angry,

Anger makes you sick and tired,

Anger is losing a war within yourself,

I lost that war,

I became ill.

I can't soften now,

War leaves affects you can never undo on a child,

War leaves bloody cuts,

War makes you sacrifice your peace and softness,

I want to be peaceful,

but I can't.

I wish I could be soft.

I was just a child.
