Poem
I was talking to a girl that goes to high school the other day, and she told me all these stories of the girls that go to her school, she is the head of an anti bully club and asked me to write something for her group. You sit in your room crying about your weight And how you never think you'll be asked on a date You dream about marriage, a white picket gate But you sit there and stare at the bumps on your face For all the young girls who find no hope or joy Because you're made fun of by popular boys Your problem I know, isn't only skin deep So what other thoughts does your mind always think? When I see these young girls acting out of their age So egar to grow up and turn life's page I can't help but feel that their hurting themselves And putting there innocence up on a shelf There are teens getting pregnant, getting in bars There's young ones getting high, losing it in cars There's girls starving their bodies and cutting their arms Getting drugged and raped despite all the alarms There's the ones in the lunchroom eating all alone Who feels rejected by peers and rejected at home There's the girl with the braces getting called names And forced to sit alone at the homecoming game We are all so afraid to apologize to who we have hurt So we run their names farther down into the dirt Until we turn on the 6 o' clock news And hear that they hung themselves in their bedrooms Then suddenly bullies care, but not soon enough About those girls who coped with drinking, sex and drugs If we spent all the time before- lifting them up And showering them with sisterly love Then maybe we could all walk arm and arm Protecting them from all of this harm.
