A/N: This was an English assignment we had to do for a response to a story

You tried to bring me down

You tired to make me break.

You permanently made me frown
It got so I couldn't take

Any of this teasing

I just wanted to die.
I hope you don't find it pleasing

That you made me want to cry.

Every day in those three years

You slowly crushed my self esteem
With teasing that'd eventually bring me to tears

And there's no way for you to redeem

Yourselves because you made

My middle school days a living hell

So I'd always try to evade

You until the last bell.

When the bell finally would ring

And I got to get away

I wanted to get up and sing

But realized that tomorrow would be another day.

But you didn't bring me down

You didn't make me break.

I no longer permanently frown

And my soul no longer has that ache.

So look who's hurting now

I no longer have that pain

It's really amazing how

Your teasing was in vain.
