The tears spill as I hear others
Whispering my name
Like a curse on their tongues
Never fading from their minds

The tears spill as I see others
Laughing
Not with me, but with their own kind
At my appearance, reputation, personality

The tears spill as I imagine others
Casting me down
The words repeat, the laughter rings
Like a broken record, forever put on repeat

A river floods my cheeks
As I realize
I am weak, the others weakening me.
I will never be strong, powerful, able to fight back.

I cry.
