Your Actions, Their Scars

Don't play the victim, don't wear the frown
You're the one causing harm, spinning others down
Bullying, harassing, spreading fear and pain
You're the problem, not the one to claim
Don't shift the blame, don't point the finger high
You're the one acting out, passing by
Think before you speak, think before you act
Your words and actions leave a lasting fact
You're bringing tears to eyes, and pain to the heart
Affecting minds and souls, tearing them apart
Your actions have consequences, that's what you must see
Is hurting others worth it? Is it worth your destiny?
Learn a lesson now, before it's too late
Think before you act, don't perpetuate the hate
Be kind, be compassionate, be understanding too
For the hurt you're causing, is it really worth it to you?

Beyond the Masquerade

In shadows cast by false pretense,  
A friend once close, now lost to sense.  
With whispered lies, they played their part,  
A dagger aimed straight at my heart.  
You sent your words, so vile, so crude,  
Yet wore a mask, concealing the rude.  

You spun your tales, so sweet, so sly,  
But truth unveiled, I learned to cry.  
Your laughter masked the pain you sowed,  
A friendship turned to heavy load.  
But truth has a way of breaking through,  
And finally, you confessed what you knew

You tore apart the bonds we shared,  
With every word, you showed you cared.  
But now I stand, my trust betrayed,  
While reputations fade like shade.

The lies unraveled, the facade fell,  
Your gross texts revealed a hidden hell.  
Now I stand, with lessons learned,  
From a friendship scorched, and bridges burned.

Stronger Together

We have a bond that makes us strong
A bond inseparable, no matter how long
We’ve made our allies, we hold them dear
In laughter, in tears, we conquer the feared

No plans to leave the shining stars
Never to enter the shadowing dark
Together we flourish, together we stand
Embracing the twists, our paths unplanned

We share our dreams, like whispers in the breeze,  
In the warmth of our laughter, we find our ease.  
With hearts intertwined, we dance through the day,  
Forever united, come what may.

Through every challenge, we face with a grin,  
With you by my side, I know we will win.  
In moments of joy and in times of strife,  
Our friendship's a treasure, the best part of life.

Shades of Deceit

If you hate me, say it to my face
Don't lie or hide in a secret place
I'd rather hear the truth, no matter the pain
Than be surrounded by deceit and shame
Bullies and liars, they tear me apart
I'd rather cry alone, with a broken heart
Than be with those who use and harass me
And bring only darkness and misery
Honesty and respect, my soul's desire
No false pretenses, let our bond be fire
Don't masquerade as friends, with deceitful glee
My well-being is worth more than any lie
I'd rather stand alone, with tears in my eyes.
Than be surrounded, by deceitful lies.

Silent Struggles

In the hallways where whispers cut deep like a knife,  
I walk with my head down, hiding my strife.  
You're just thinkin' it's a small thing that happened,  
But the world ended when it happened to me, unwrapped and unfastened.  
Each taunt and each jeer, they echo and cling,  
A chorus of shadows, they steal all my spring.  
With every harsh word, I feel the weight grow,  
In a sea of indifference, I’m drowning, you know.  
You laugh and you jest, but you don’t see the tears,  
The scars that I carry, the weight of my fears.  
I long for a moment, just one hand to lend,  
To show that I’m more than the target you send.

Shattered Bonds

I thought we were friends, I thought we were close,  
In laughter and secrets, we’d share the most.  
But whispers turned bitter, like shadows at noon,  
My sister's cruel words, like a dark, heavy tune.  
I never thought I would ever lose you,  
Thought bonds were unbreakable, steadfast and true.  
But you joined in the laughter, turned away from the light,  
Now memories linger, haunting the night.  
I didn’t think you would hate me, it cuts like a knife,  
Once filled with joy, now echoes of strife.  
What happened to trust, to the dreams that we shared?  
Now I stand here alone, feeling lost and impaired.

Echoes of Fading Light

In the cheer chat, where joy should unite,
A ten-year-old girl causes drama day and night
She calls me a brat, a jerk, selfish and ugly too,
But she's the one acting out, it's true.

She says she wants to push me off a cliff,
Her words so harsh, they make my spirit stiff.
As I debate my life's worth, feeling so low,
She tells me to end it, her cruelty on show.

I cry for hours, feeling so torn,
But then my bestie, she keeps me warm.
She tells me to stay, to stand strong and tall,
With her love and support, I won't fall.

I'll rise above her hurtful game,
And find my strength, reclaim my name.
For with true friends by my side,
I'll face the storm and turn the tide.
