im building a wall

by HannahZ in over her head

Authors Note;I've only been teased twice in my life. Both incidents happened about two months ago and they still bother me.I can't imagine what it must take to endure it everyday. To often, this is what happens to the victim. Even though they try not to let it get them, it does, and if we dont stop it, sooner or later they'll come to a point where its too much. They bring a gun to school, start hanging with the wrong crowd, end their own life.Next time you want to laugh at a someone, consider the risk. Is it really worth it?

see the pain
im pushing aside
i dont want you to see
that your hurting me.
I wont let that happen
i wont let you win
i'll biuld a wall 'round my heart
so you can never get in
and destroy
it.
The cruel names mean nothing
to a heart of stone
rock doesnt care
if its rolling alone
i am immortal
to all worldly hurt
its impossible to break
a hardened heart
so go ahead
attack me,
try to rip me apart
but you cant break a hardened heart.
all the mean words your shouting
are bricks of the wall
im building thick
it will never fall
i am immortal to all worldly hurt
its impossible to break a hardened heart.

but you see,
im building a wall around my heart
because the things that you say
really do hurt
and now this is what happens to a broken heart.
