They were my days
When my mind was away
I only see eyes
And I hear thousands laughs
They were voices in my silent heart
One look at them was a pondering vibe
***
Sarcasm, I love them
Hatred, Still I was in love
Their smile was a sham
I was not ashamed
Nothing I had
They were my bloody bullies
***
Buddies?
Bullies?
Bodies?
A quick respond
And my mind was away
***
One doesn’t live with no buddies
One doesn’t survive with no body
When my mind was away
They were my body
Thanks to them
I survive the burying
But the bullying was always there
***
They were so close
They were so there
My eyes would never close
They were my never-ending fire
And I preferred it fire
Though inside I was burning
***
They were
I couldn’t help
But bear
The laughs
The glances
The fingers
And the unobvious smiley mouths
Nothing was void
Cause I was
Guyed at
