No More Tears
There I was, sitting petrified,
I have never been this terrified.
I was so, so afraid that you would see,
The fear that was rushing all over me.
I was the one you were always mistreating.
I was waiting for your daily beating.
The pain whooshed over me when you came,
I knew you were ready to inflict your pain.
YOU have no idea how excruciating it was,
YOU had me like a lion grabs a gazelle in its jaws.
All the ferocious punching and kicking,
Why is it always me you are picking?
The names you call, they hurt too.
How would you like me to do that to you?
Fat, stupid, ugly, a waste of time,
In my head they are forever entwined.
You text me messages containing threats,
Forever following me is your silhouette.
The texts haunt me all the time,
Why, oh why would you commit such a crime?
This continued year on year,
Bu here I am now…no more tears!
I wish at the time I had opened up-
But, look at me now with all my luck!
Together we can make a difference-
Give the bullied some reassurance.
This behaviour we should NOT allow-
Let’s help end bullying right now!
