the emoji hive
you don't want to be here, but you have to; you're forced to go
they know you're here; everyone knows you're here
they're looming, always, waiting for their excuse
you're staying quiet, with your head down, trying not to spur them, even if it's fruitless
it's not time yet, so they mock your attempts to hide
you don't want to be here
but they do
and they are getting sick of your hiding
you don't know what you ever did wrong
but you're going to be punished for it
a few surround, mimicking; they know how you'll feel
everyone starts to laugh
and it begins
they sink their teeth into you
and they laugh
and they don't stop
and you know they aren't going to stop until it's over
you're trying to silently brave through it
but you're helpless, and they watch you fall
and they kick
where it really hurts
this one laughs at how you ever thought that you would be successful
this one ridicules your very thoughts and how you think
this one hates your appearance and personality; it copies you at beyond your worst
and you believe that it's really you
this one hates how you ever thought that anyone or anything loved you
but the emoji hive loves you
this one grins at how you ever thought that you were good in any way
this one lets you know that you wish you were seeing just stars after this
these ones remind you that no one you tell will be able to help you
this one mocks your ruination
and they show you that you're hurt
and that you can't take it
you're still on the ground, now gasping for air, gagging
your entire body is throbbing, and it swells in your throat
you can't hold it back
and you puke
and it pukes back screaming
some of them are leaving
they're going to a party
your party
you don't get to go
that's because you're here
