I'm Dame-Tsuna and I am ALIVE

by FujiRyoViktuuri1827

For those who are bullied or with low self-esteem. Words hurts like knives, but in the end they are just that, words. Be strong enough and no knives, though they may hurt, will kill you. Words don't define who you are, so don't let them. Stand up and smile. Shout to the world that you are STRONG for being You...

"Hahaha!" they laughed,

"Dame-Tsuna is so pathetic!" they taunted,

"Always tripping over nothing, so useless, can't even walk properly!" That's how they always saw me…

Pathetic, Useless, Hopeless, Worthless, Waste of Space, No Good, Stupid, Failure, Weak…

A Pushover…..

I was always NOTHING.

They beat me up,

Hurt me,

Taunt me,

Put me down..

I truly thought that I was all those negative words. Destined to fail, to disappoint.

I never exerted any effort to better myself anymore. Why bother when I'll always be that pathetic scrawny kid no one wants to be friends with.

I was Loser-Tsuna

My mom never expects anything from me anymore. Why should she when I always disappoints her anyways.

I'm her no good son, No Good-Tsuna.

My father is never home. Why should he, when he'll only come home to his useless son and airhead of a wife?

It's been years since his last visit.

Does he even remember us anymore?

I hear our neighbors saying they pity Nana for having such a useless son and that, since I'm so useless, why not send me off to someone else?

They probably didn't want to accept a failure such as myself in their homes.

For as long as I can remember, their sharp, painful words have been my company.

Is it any wonder that I actually believed it?

That I thought I was everything they told me I am?

That I am hated?

I know they hate me.

That it wouldn't matter to them if I live or die…

I shouldn't even exist in their eyes.

My parents would've been better off without someone like me leeching of them.

I'm not handsome,

I'm not smart,

I'm not strong..

I'm ugly,

I'm stupid,

I'm weak..

….but I'm alive.

I'm not worthless.

I learned that from you Reborn,

I can do things if I try hard enough

I can be good at something

I'm good enough

I AM WORTH SOMETHING

I'm STRONG

For withstanding the hurt, the pain, the taunts..

For living while others with more reason to live chose to die.

For still being Tsuna

Because even though I'm useless right now, I can make myslef useful today and in the future…

And that's why they won't affect me anymore,

That's why I would keep on pushing myself to live, to survive..

Because you showed me Reborn,

The me that I could be…...
