Dark Days

Taunting and teasing
i hear everyday
all the big kids just get in my way
i try to be perfect i try to be cool

i think they might just like being nasty and cruel
i spend days alone
by myself in the corner
everyone pointing and making faces at me
what did i do to deserve these dark days?
my world is black
no happiness
no nothing
the darkness in my world just seems to keep spreding
