[bodytext] => He lied The weatherman said it was going to rain today But as I look up There's nothing but a blue canvas on display I knew I brought this umbrella for nothing As it lays beside me on the ground Ignored and abandoned With little hope of ever being found It's funny now that I think about it How little I looked up at the sky To appreciate its beauty Or to simply watch the birds fly.... I should of listened to my mom Like always, she was right "Don't listen to them" "Just turn around and walk away" Is what she would constantly say When I'm the one who has to go to school and get called names everyday Texting in class and laughing behind my back Each passing moment Became harder and harder to ignore their attacks I went to the principal But he said there was nothing he could do "You expect me to suspend a few kids because they're making fun of you?" "Do me a favor: Grow up and get back to class" As he signed his name at the bottom of my hall pass I left his office and walked the gauntlet of pointed fingers and whispered insults And down my face rolled the wet and painful results... So here I find myself Alone and free of it all Turning off my cell phone As my mother continues to call I take from my pocket the key to my release Swallowing each pill Is the only hope I have of ever finding any peace....
