Students walking through the halls
Cluttering the air with chatter,
As I walk silently by
Heading off to my next class.

Just a typical bookworm
Trying my best to stay out of trouble,
Yet trouble kept bombarding me
Just like students paper balling a chalk board.

Bullies trying to put the blame
On the innocent to be given shame
Just so they can cover their tracks
Make the good look like the bad.

They don't understand just how I feel
When you put the blame on the pure
Your just making up a lie
To keep them from the truth.

I try to stand my ground
Not wanting to be put down
From their snickers and words
To being locked in the dark.

When your pushed to a corner
You have to act on action
To get through the fight
Against my bullies.

When words fail to reason
Cornered from all sides
You have to follow instinct
And raise up your fists
To bring down the instigator.

I'm just a bookworm
Different from the rest
I must do all I can
To survive in this jungle.
This poem is about how I had a hard time in school back in my teen years when I was in high school. I was bullied by people because I was different. Not a lot of people understood me or got the chance-NOT even my evil principal. Bullies accused me of starting things, but their the ones who start the problem by messing with those who are different and work hard to get good grades, get into college and get to class on time-even our hobbies and passion. I know that talking things out usually works, but when backed into a corner you got flight or fight plan and you choose fight because thats the normal response.
