Bullying In Schools By Ulyssa Vinarta 8th Grade

I go to school
and you are there thinking you're so cool.
You trapped menacing words in my mind
being so unkind.

What did I do wrong?
Why are you picking on me for so long?
Is it my hair?
Is it what I wear?

You think it's all a game
but bullying is really lame.
But you know what you're doing is wrong.
I wish someday we could get along

People laugh, watch, and surround
as you keep tossing me around.
Acting like a jerk
making me do all your work.

What's your problem with me?
Is it because of your jealousy?
I feel like I want to die
but all you say are lies.

Why can't you ever be humane?
Now it will never be the same.
So all the childish games you play
has to cease this very day.
