The words cut like a knife
Slitting my confidence
Cutting my pride.
Intimidated by phrases.
On their own
They mean nothing.
Without you
I flourish
No punishments
For doing right
Only praise
From loved ones.
I don't need you
Achieving your goal
Of breaking confidence.
Killing my happiness,
Destroying my composure,
Demolishing hope.
This poem is so true to life. I've felt the same way about bullies many times. I epsecially like the phrase "On their own [t]hey mean nothing."
Wow- scary. I've written some poems on almost exactly the same subject and it's weird that you've felt the same way. It's good by the way!
I like this poem its true what you've written, about how bullies make you feel...
