She tries to hold her head up,

as she walks through the hall,

she doesn't want to give them the pleasure,

of watching her fall,

 

 

The torment they put her through,

is starting to break her down,

she's begun the deep descent,

soon to hit the ground,

 

 

Nonetheless,

she puts on a fake plastic smile,

acting like she doesn't care,

but crying all the while,

 

 

She's become nearly nothing,

almost stopped caring,

stopped listening to the rumors,

doesn't notice the staring,

 

 

Why does it give them such happiness,

to tear a person apart,

are they completely soulless,

do they even have a heart,

 

 

This vicious cycle,

will go on for some time,

until they've found someone new,

to treat like worthless grime,

 

 

It will never change,

and school will always be the same,

as generations pass,

they're sure to continue this game,

 

 

Always someone new,

but it normally doesn't change,

someone else to lock up,

to treat like an animal in a cage,

 

 

Egging it on,

until one day it fights back,

people wind up hurt,

when the animal finally attacks

Lovely

Bullying is so common in schools and the bullied doesn't retaliate. The bully always has the upper hand. The bullied withdraws completely with severe consequences. Your poem makes a definite statement. Thoughtful, actually.
