I am a person. I have feelings, too. The things that you say to me or about me hurt. Just because you don't physically hit me doesn't mean that I'm not in pain. You try to break me. You try to put me down to build yourself up. Everything that I have you try to take away. Instead of concerning yourself with me why don't you focus on yourself.

Instead of trying to ruin my life, why don't you just try to make your own life better? If we were to switch roles and everything you did to me I were to do it to you how would you feel? Would you just brush it off, would you hide what your really feeling? You may not see it, but the things that you do and the stuff that you say hurts me more than you know.

If every mean thing that you ever said were to be permanently inked on your body forever, would you still say those things? Would you still try to rip people down to make yourself feel better? Everyone goes through their own war. You have know idea what I'm already going through.

No matter who I am as a person or what you think of me, I am still a human being and I deserve to be treated as such. You don't have to like me or even be my friend. I don't care about that. All I'm saying is that I deserve respect. I have never wronged you in any way. So why are you treating me as though I have ruined your life?

Well I have news for you. I am strong. I will never give up. I will not change myself for you or anyone else. I like myself the way that I am. No matter how many times you try to break me or crush my dreams or even try to break my spirit, I will get up brush myself off and I will stand tall.

I will rise above every obstacle that you put in front of me and I will face it head on. You can hate me or not. I don't care. Your opinion of me doesn't matter. It only matters how I see myself. And I think that I'm awesome and that' all that matters.

There will always be someone out there that will dislike me for some unknown reason. And they will always try to break me and crush my spirit just to build themselves up to seem better than me. But I don't care. Bring on the obstacles.

I embrace the challenge. While you spend your time trying to bring me and who knows how many others down, trying to break our spirits and crush our dreams, we will be spending our time bettering ourselves and doing everything we can to fulfill the dreams that you thought we couldn't.

While you try to bring us down you are actually bringing yourself down instead. I am me. And I'm happy with who I am.
