The Effect Of Games

I've been waiting all day for this moment.
I open the door and see the bare floor.
I go to play but first I need to pray.
I do my lucky spin so I know I’ll win.
I need to win so I’ll fit in.
The kids at school are being quite cruel.
They make me feel like a fool.
I never want to go to school.
They corner me and laugh.
Sadly they are too fast so I can’t escape them.
I get pushed and shoved but when I go to push back,
they don’t budge.
This unacceptable, never ending
bullying is creating my life to be very miserable.
Sometimes I don’t want to be here.
Sometimes I want to disappear.
