Stronger - Original Poem

This is who I am.

I’m that girl you always ignored.

I’m the one no one wanted to understand.

You just ran circles around me and laughed.

It has been years and I am sick of it.

Suddenly I am stronger and you can see me.

You try to laugh but it does not hurt anymore.

I have grown strong while you grew weak.

Now you stand ignored.

You expect me to run circles around you and laugh,

But the truth is...

I do not feel as if that would help anything.

You see my hesitation as weakness

And you gather your friends.

Every day you try to torment,

Hurt,

Attack,

And Destroy

Who I really am,

But you cannot stop me from just being me.

I am not that pathetic

I will not let you attack me,

You cannot hurt me anymore.
