Mute
Why did you chain me to rusty walls
amidst the wails and squalls
of circling tomcats and tabbies?
Caged inside your ragged borders,
birds of prey circling my bones
while myriad cats bide their time
for morsels of me scattered on ground.
I pen my pleas on the murky ceiling,
written in the blood you have wrought,
my torturous thoughts smeared in dust
while trails lead to legions of mangy cats.
I am alone while you prance with felines,
catapulting over me, caterwauling.
What is your problem, cat got your tongue?
You open your mouth wide and swear
hordes of cats have eaten your tongue.

Being Bullied....To Me From Me
I am a victim of circumstance,
I don't think it was meant for me.
From the time I started school.
To the age of twenty-three.
People would treat me badly,
sometime push me around.
When I would walk home from school,
my books would be pushed to the ground.
No one wanted to hang with me.
No one wanted to be my friend.
I thought when I got older.
The madness would come to an end.
But wrong again, as it happened,
it got even worse.
When I became sweet 16,
someone stole my purse.
Put bad things on the internet.
Embarrassing me as much as they wanted.
The more I showed my face.
The more I was taunted.
There had to be a place
where everyone was the same.
Where bullying wasn't tolerated.
And bullies wasn't totally insane.
I felt heaven was a place of serenity,
always an open door.
I would no longer be bullied
because I wouldn't live here anymore.
But just when my thoughts of leaving,
was never to return in shame.
I thought to myself "WHY"!
Why should the life I live, be the blame?
Why should I suffer,
and not grow up to be what I want to be?
Because someone stupid like you,
Hated someone special like me.
I changed my mind about leaving,
and decided to overcome.
Stupidity, Bullying, and anything negative,
I AM SPECIAL TO SOMEONE!
MYSELF.
