The others

Alissa Hawley

Free verse
Yelling, screaming, the insults never stop, you're not strong, not worthy at all. Constantly they talk. I try and try again to build a wall, but the others words are swift. You're too tall, too short.
SHUT UP I'M NOT!
Not smart, just dumb.
WHY? Please stop !
Ok, ok I'll stop the others say, and they do for a night....
But are there the next day
