I Am Used To It

Today at school people made fun of my name,
But it's ok, I am used to it,
Today I cried, because I could not complete my work,
But it's ok, I am used to it,
Today my friend would not talk to me,
But it's ok, I am used to it,
Today someone punched me, just because they didn't like me,
But it's ok, I am used to it,
Today my teacher yelled at me, because I "do not work hard enough",
But it's ok, I am used to it,
Today I was afraid to go to school,
But it's ok, I am used to it
Today I was too scared to put up my hand,
But it's ok, I am used to it,
Today I woke up sad and alone and stressed,
And it's not ok that I am used to it
