Hate Drips
I’m sorry ,
I didn’t intend for this to happen .
Another fine came from the school it isn’t fair the rule that I have to attend when I have no friends .
They don’t understand the rumours they spread cause they never heard the comment that I’d be better of dead .
**“You stupid girl !**
**Don’t you know how much I’m worrying about having enough to pay the bill without you making more hassle .”**
**I’m having a meeting with your teacher tomorrow so don’t you worry about not having a phone cause now your grounded at home for the foreseeable future .**
“Please mum I don’t want to go their bullying me ! “
**“Listen dear it will make you strong , everyone goes through a few falling out it’s all part of growing up .”**
The scars on her wrist are the only thing she can list for every word left a sting of hate that seems to cling .
As blood drips down her arm as she suffers from the harm of that day in class were they told today would be her last .
