    Jerks


    Her cheeks are red,
    Like roses or cherry popsicles.
    Her eyes scream out,
    Fear and embarrassment hidden in them .
    Her glasses fall farther down on her nose,
    The thick lenses barely hiding her tears.
    She sniffles and they laugh.
    Jerks.
    They all are.
    People who pick on others
    Just to make themselves look cool.
    Disgusting.
    It makes me nauseous.
    I should say something.
    I rise out my seat,
    And then sit down again.
    I can’t.
    I’m just like her.
    I may be popular.
    But that’s where the differences
    End.
    We’re both the same.
    Stuck in a world
    That’s not our own.
    Both trying to fit in.
    I’m just better at it.
    I’m popular and…
    She’s not.
    It’s not fair.
    And life’s not fair.
    And their not fair.
    But nobody does anything to stop
    It.

    A.N.: I was inspired to write this because of all the bullies at my school and how they pick on people. It may not be the best, but this is how a lot of people feel. There may be a bully and everyone else may think it's just cruel. But to save their own reputation, they do nothing about it. It may be wrong, but no one does anything. Sorry for any grammar/spelling/punctuation errors. I wrote this in less than 5 minutes. Hope you like it, but it's okay if you don't.

    I love it!

    and I totally get what you're saying. I recently read this really good book called 13 Reasons Why, and ever since then, I have been determined & am working on speaking up at school when I notice someone being mistreated.

    I'm glad you like it! I haven't read it but it sounds good! Who's the author? I might just look it up and read it! Yeah I know...I feel bad when I don't stand up for people who can't stand up for themselves.

    It's by Jay Asher
    here's the synopsis from the site. . .

    "Clay Jensen returns home from school
    to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside
    he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker--his
    classmate and crush--who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape,
    Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end
    her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made
    the list. Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay
    Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and
    desperation that will deeply affect teen readers."
