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



                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                           


there is no darkness within the emoji hive; only its smile
