Completely
Words and lies are sown into my skin,
with all of my pains and cries all held in.
You can see where it starts from the tips of my fingers,
which goes up and down my arms leading to my failures.
Broken promises from my love ones are engraved into my heart.
Which more is over lapping now it’s taring me apart.
My face is covered in lies that I’ve said trying to protect myself which only made me ugly.
I wanted no one to see the truth side to things, nor for them to see the coward side of me.
My chest and stomach is covered up in scars and tears.
It’s a way to punish myself for not being brave enough to face my fears.
My eyes are blindfolded by my hands to block out the truth.
For knowing what is real hurts me, but still I tried to rebuke.
A fishnet is what’s holding my mind as its own captive,
so it couldn’t think for itself or even try to live.
My legs are bond up by rumors and lies that are all against me.
For it knocks me down to the ground, I can’t get back up on my feet.
Although my feet are sore now from all the pain and blisters that I have went through. Trying to run and hide to get away from all of you,
but still your words and lies I let get the best of me,
because you all knew that you had me completely.

I wrote poetry to help express my pain and suffering that I went through when I was bullied in middle school. It gave me a voice and security when I was able to write. I hope that these words can relate to others who have been through this.
