Cyber Bully
You text her things you would never say to her face.
You think it won’t hurt her.
So you keep going for weeks until she skips school.
You still harass her.
Her mom died from cancer the other day.
You keep bullying her.
You have a bunch of guys beat her up after school.
Her dad abuses her too.
The next day she is not at school.
She’s not there for weeks.
Finally your teacher tells the whole class she took her life.
You cry……You’re hurt but it’s your fault.
You can’t unsay and undo all of what happened.
You can’t take back those words, shes gone.
How many people have to die for everyone to understand words hurt.
