||Suffering in Silence||

Feeling low, I question why, 

My expression sadder than a sigh

I catch your gaze from distant space, 

Recalling when you pushed, left a trace

 How much longer must this feud last?

 Please, depart; it's all I ask

Always the prey, no matter where, 

To bullies' whims, I'm just their fare

Why me? I ponder, with no reply, 

Each insult a wound, I silently cry

Told my folks, school was next in line, 

But insults flowed like a relentless brine

I tried to fight, to stand tall and strong,

 Yet, against their tide, I couldn't prolong

Help me, I plead, can't bear this weight, 

Suffering in silence, my inevitable fate
