“I think that social media has really empowered bullies because you get to do it from the comfort of your own home, completely anonymous, with no ramifications.” – Maysoon Zayid
You tell me to leave
I have a right to be here
You tell me I am unwanted
Others may feel different
You talk like I am in the wrong
When all I did was express an opinion
You talk like I am an idiot
When I just pointed out a fact
You say I’m uneducated
Maybe I made a mistake
You say I’m ugly
I am no pageant queen
You called me stupid
I didn’t do the best in school
You called me a fat ass
I am over weight
Worthless
Ignorant
Whiny
Crybaby
Waste of space…
Maybe you can shame me into silence
But I will be damned if you will break my spirit
