I went to school today

I went to school today

Only wanting to learn

But out came the hatred

My pain they must yearn

Taunting and teasing

Is all they can do

To be nice and polite

Would sure be a new

I went to school today

Because my mom made me

But out came the beatings

Did anyone see

So mean and so loud

Picking a fight

I can't defend

I have no might

I went to school today

Because I am brave

But they are too strong

Like a big ocean wave

Taking my lunch

And spreading such lies

No friends do I have

Not even the flies

Tonight is the night

Tomorrow won't come

And soon for them

A new song to hum

I went to school today

Is a thing of the past

I went to Heaven last night

For this pain could not last

I walk in the clouds, I sing in the dust

Oh my goodness, this is so very sad. Very well written and profound, I hope all who read it remember to be more kind because you can never know how it may effect another.

It's sad, but so many people can relate to this. In all honesty, as much as I have changed since I graduated a year and a half ago from highschool (08), I used to be in those shoes. Being an outcast and reject sucks, but it will make you who you are today. So make it good, and don't let it get to you, because some people just aren't worth it.
