Their wolfish grins devour me.

They smirk and smile and tease and taunt

They whisper, snickering, laughing all along the way.

Why me?

I'm not stupid or ugly or fat.

Why me?

Their crow beaks peck at my flesh.

They build me up, brick by brick by brick, just to tear it down with a sharp chisel.

Tricking, joking, pranking, taunting, teasing, smirking

Their soft harsh whispers

Their quiet comments

I'm not good enough

I open my mouth, they shove and apple in it

They slowly roast me, watching me bake under the pressure.

As I fade into oblivion, their wolfish grins are the last things I see
