Suck It Up Buttercup

they sit behind me

they whisper my name

along with hateful words

that make me wipe my face

they say everything

each word stabs my back

that is what they are hoping at

to break me down

well okay sure make me a clown

laugh and tell jokes

but this whole world is just a hoax 

a simple thought out game

and God is the player who makes everything

so break me down and just shut up

do what you want but i've had enough

The player is changing the game

because you, you are to blame

so suck it up buttercup

and drink your thoughts away until it's too much

just remember you are the one.

There's a whole lot of "mean" around you... isn't right.

I like that you are not scared to abandon more conventional structures for your poem, because you don't need them. You create emotion through a much more rushed, rough style, and it's effective for what you write. Well done.

"the one" indeed, I find it playful and brisk, a very good read, well done.
