Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Please don't call me names,
I plead for an end to your games,
I'm sick and tired of it all,
I get told I don't belong,
I get called the lonely one,
I am judged by what I do,
What I wear and makeup too.

What if you felt as I?
Would you still speak of me cruelly all your life?
Would you regret all you've ever said?
Would you cry in your bed?
I do, Every night because of you,
I'm not sure how much longer I will last,
My life is traveling downwards fast,
I wish you'd stop because I'm not okay,
Leave me alone, go away.
