Bullying
I sit down in the dreaded, yellow bus
Hiding my face with my trembling hand
The big kids would joke, they would swear and cuss
Their laughing and teasing I could not stand
I was short, that I have to admit
They thought I was different and picked me
I didn’t know I’d be bullied for it
There was pushing, crying, and a scraped knee
I was told, be strong and hold your head high
Speak up or fight and let somebody know
I was frightened, scared, I didn’t dare try
Oh, but I should have done it long ago
Ending my silence, I spoke up, spoke loud
The bullying stopped and boy was I proud
