Whispers of Struggle

Have you ever felt the sting of cruel words said,
When laughter surrounds you, but it fills you with dread?
They call you names, and push you aside,
Each jab and each whisper makes it harder to hide.

You try to be brave, put on a smile each day,
But inside, the hurt keeps tearing you away.
You question your worth, feel so lost and alone,
But the truth is, you’re stronger than you’ve ever known.
