Say Something

I'm immobile by deafening chants of my fans.
Mounted on a grand stage draped in humiliation 
The arena is packed standing room only
Murmurs of insults produce a grievous boom echoes in my head
You, Me, Someone, Anyone Say Something!

Slashed to pieces by your taunts
Pummeled, pounded, and mauled seeming to erase my exsistence
Cornered, trapped held captive by fear
My cries go unheard ashamed of my weakness
You, Me, Someone, Anyone Say Something!

Branded, labeled gripped daily by hail storms of fist, 
bruises, scrapes, stupid, ugly, gay, punk, B!t@#.......
Scar me to the depth of my soul.
You, Me, Someone, Anyone Say Something

Bullying is no longer only on the big screen, it's in our faces
Don't downplay it until it hits home
We are losing to many young lives to  BULLYING
The final ACT is.................. DEATH
YOU, ME, SOMEONE, ANYONE SAY SOMETHING!

I know how is it to be bullied, those times were horible and yes, sadly people don't realize how many times it ends in suicide. from anywhere to anywho you wrote this it's well said.

I have a nephew that has been bullied so much since he was in 3rd grade and he is now in 7th grade. It got worse as he got older. The schools could not properly protect him. Now he goes to school on a computer. he has been bullied out of interaction with others. it's sad. I loved that you wrote this poem. At least you said something.....Roger
