Still Standing

i heard the whispers
i saw the stares
i felt the tears rolling down my face
i was bullied
i was humiliated
it was survival of the fittest
and unfourtnately i was losing

it was not in my makeup to fight back
but i had no choice
i was pushed in a corner
i had no control over my actions
so i fought hard and never stopped

i found myself afraid
alone , in my bedroom
in tears wondering,  why me?
never understood some things happen to us
not to make us weak but to make us stronger

& throughout the storm ,  i am still here . still STANDING tall .
