Words can hurt, that's why I'm sad,
You say mean things, to make me feel bad
You are the bully who says I'm fat
I am the victim who is tired of that
Just another day, of listening to what you have to say
If you're wondering, yes I cry
But I'm not ready to say goodbye
All the words and judging you have done
My new adventure has just begun
I will learn step by step
To understand why you're so upset
