Walked in and placed my bag,
Thinking about the reaction I’d receive for scoring so low.
“You’re a loser.” Screamed a voice in my head.
“No, I’m not.” I firmly replied.
The voice kept coming again repeatedly,
Saying that I needed to be punished exceedingly.
I ignored the voice knowing that I won’t fall,
Believing that my self-esteem stood tall.
Everything was fine,
Until they came.
Screaming and shouting,
Yelling my name.
I stood still listening to them,
Every mean thing they said and all what they probably never meant.
The taunts kept coming,
So did the voice.
They said I was worthless,
A waste of time.
If I was in my senses ,
I wouldn’t believe that lie.
But I wasn’t so I took it to my heart,
I gave it the power to destroy me and it did.
I ran back to my room and took out the blade,
Punishing myself for the mistakes I never made.
Miserable and broken internally,
But nobody would believe that.
‘Cause in a world like this,
Ignorance is bliss.
