Anti Bullying Stop the Violence
Walk through the halls of an unknown land
Trying to figure out how to fit in,
May not be the same as everyone else,
But is that a reason to cut me down?
Every day I face a new battle don’t you see,
Not knowing who will push or tease me.
Will I be made fun of for my clothes?
Will I be shunned for my shyness?
Will the other kids laugh and point?
Who will beat me up I think to myself,
when I am alone in the hall?
Will anyone hear my cries?
When I am running for my life?
Kids tell me I am to slow to score a goal,
Teachers tell me you’ll never make the grade,
They look at me and see what they want to see.
When will I be seen for me?
My parents tell me do not be afraid.
Do not listen to what they all say.
Your dreams are powerful and can be attained.
You are worth more than you’ll ever know
Don’t give up on yourself.
I sit in my room at night and cry,
Wishing I was like them inside.
Why do kids hate me so much?
What did I ever do to make them hurt me so?
I just want the bullying to stop in school.
I want to be free to explore the world.
I want a chance to find myself,
I want to be happy once again.
I want to find the smile I once had.
I want to be seen for who I really am,
I just want a new beginning.
