About middle school; worst time of my life. 
You beg not to go
You kick, and scream, and put on a show
But those once nurturing hands, that kept you safe,
Now push, and drag you to never ceasing misery
"You need school," they say,
"Just ignore what they say for a single day"
But their words stab through your heart like stakes
One after another, deep in your breast,
Lapping up your pain, like vultures on soft flesh
No one is on your side
No one gives you the comfort you need
The ones who are supposed to teach, and protect you,
Deny your claims of abuse and look to you for the source of the blame
Darkness is closing
The posers are posing
Terrible and yet righteous thoughts cloud your conscience
And every day would cause you to pull, and tear at your hair
And you would scream for a different kind of pain
It's all your fault
It must be
Your fault, that you don't have cool, new shoes
Your fault, that you're shy and have no friends
Your fault, that your daddy never loved you like he should have
Your fault, that your alive.
