Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, I've just been kinda busy. Anyways this is a poem I wrote about certain mean girls & cliques I've dealt with in middle school. Hope you enjoy & relate.

Shaking, Trembling
Feeling almost nonexistent
Trudging towards another day
Getting this nauseating, gross feeling when you see them
Having this negative feeling that today will be worse then yesterday
And tomorrow will be worse then today
Hoping, Praying for them to stop whispering about me
I know there gossiping about my slight differences and quirks
I then think about everything that makes me different
Differences were pounding through my head 
Differences that I thought made me abnormal or weird
Tears start to flood my eyes
I tell myself to fight those tears and stay strong
I tell myself that these catty girls aren't worth your tears
I tell myself that these insults don't matter
I tell myself to think of all of the positive things in my life
But simply telling myself to stay strong almost never worked
I tried to be friendly to them, not because I wanted to be nice
But because I had no other choice
Whenever I talked to them
I felt like everything I was saying was being analyzed
So they could giggle about what I just said
When my back is turned
I felt everything I did was being criticized
That no matter what I did
They would always find something wrong with me
I knew that if I stood up for myself
I would get the whole
"We've never talked badly about you,
You get so paranoid about everything"
They then strut away, with there heads held higher up then it was before
So I kept a quiet, timid persona
I thought that these days would never end
That these words would matter in five year, ten years,
That these insults would still affect me
But hurt always comes to an end
And althought I went through hell
I came out on the other side
Flying high and confidently
As a braver and stronger girl
