a "crybaby".


 nails between teeth,
feet pulled inward,
head down,
eyes lowered,
she stands, and
ignores
the taunts
teasing
jabbing
 ignores
the tears
threatening
to drip
from her
squeezed eyelids
and confirm
that she is
indeed
a
crybaby

Although that was not about me, this definitely seems familiar.
