Bulletproof
Folder:
Miscellaneous Hateful words like sharp knives,
scratching away at the surface.
Disdainful eyes to my surprise,
Claiming I have no purpose.
My skin has hardened,
so has my poor soul.
My once optimistic mind,
Is now as black as coal.
Sticks and stones may break bones,
But words will surely hurt me.
Desperate to impress others,
show them how cold you can be.
Ugly, Stupid, Bitch, and Fatty
were many of my names.
Seeing who could make me cry,
was their favorite game.
But that solemn little girl,
Who used to shrink away in fear.
Has long since died from tears she cried,
That child is no longer here.
Say what you have to say,
try your best to get beneath my skin.
I will remain unaffected,
so let your games begin.
I will no longer try to hide,
To try to avoid the things you say.
For all those people who targeted me,
They will surely pay.
They expected me to crumble and fall,
to be crushed by simple words,
Understand my weakness is gone,
I am no longer that quiet nerd.
I am stronger than I was back then,
I am way stronger than my youth.
So keep on spraying hateful words,
My skin is bulletproof.
