Broken Not Beaten
I didn’t want to go, to school today,
I wanted to stay, and keep the bullies at bay.
I’d walk to the gates, 15 minutes late,
On a different route, to the one of my mate.
My mummy said, that you need to go,
But why should I go, when I’m feeling so low.
The bullies would wait, before and after.
I’d be pushed to the floor, which would be followed by laughter.
I like to keep feelings, and thoughts to myself,
But I can’t any longer, to protect my mental health.
I need to tell mummy, what happened today,
That I need to be strong, and throw my worries away.
Bullies never win, there’s always a reason,
They’re always the same, whatever the season.
But I am strong, and will rise above the pain,
For it’s me who will shine, and friends I will gain.
