Just Die

JUST DIE!Ā 
You told me to do this with so much hate in your voice
I knew you hated me but even this was going too far
You were the one who carved that word in my leg
You had your friends pin me to the ground in the gym locker room
You took out a shaving razor
You slammed it against the ground and took one of the blades
Then you got to work
You carved the word Fat on my thigh
And ugly on my hips
You screamed that I was worthless
And I believed you
But I don't anymore
Something will die
Just like you wanted
What will die are my demons
And the thoughts in my head that you are right
I may be overweight but I am striving to change that
I know I'm not the prettiest
But you are worse
I am pretty on the inside
And you are just a troll
Both inside and out
