Ugly.
Fat.
Unloved.
Anything but perfect.
You should know your words hurt.

Stupid.
Dumb.
Loser.
Who are you to judge me?
You don't even know me.

I spend my time at home, alone.
So that maybe I will forget you.
I spend my time at home, alone.
Think about where I want to be.

Shut up.
Go away.
No one likes you.
Die.
Please keep your opinion to yourself.
You should know your words hurt.

I Think that there is so much bullying now a days but people don't realize it or understand that even the little things can affect people.

this really makes me feel supported knowing that other people hear the same words. it's terrible to hear them, but on the brightside you were able to write a nice poem from your experience :)

Yeah, I totally agree with the message. There is too much bullying and most people don't even know how much it hurts others...
