‘Silenced…’ by Katy Lawrence, Penwortham Girls’ High School

Are you for real?

Ridiculous posts changes the way people look at me,

Everyday I regret that thoughtless thing,

 

Yikes I messed up there look at my screen – the bleeding red is swallowing up the green,

Oh my gosh it has just hit me I might be sent away and that I am not keen,

Underneath the water is what I feel like unable to breath as no one seems brave enough to back me,

 

Fine! I made a mistake everyone does it no need to make me feel astray,

Over and over quiet whispers slice the air, cutting me down every single day,

Really? An edit on a video. You honestly believe,

 

Restricted to where I can go makes me look like I’m the one being mean,

Even though people know I only made a mistake they still don’t have the courage to vote me green,

Actually I am done with this I am going to put my foot down even thought I am only a teen

Leave me alone is all I want to scream
