bullying

You should know, bullying hurts. It starts with one word, one word you blurt. Fat, ugly, worthless. These are the words they hear. Did you know, your their biggest fear? Day by day you torment them, it takes so long for their hearts to mend. All they ask for is one true friend, but you make them want their lives to end. Everyday they wake up with regret, all they want to do is forget. It's not just hitting and punching, it's the words you say, they hurt so much, they want to fade away. This is when enough is enough, they're sick of playing strong, sick of playing tough. But they know they can make it through, you may not have known, but they always knew. They put on a fake smile and pretend they're okay, they believe they can make it all the way. Of course your words still offend, but they have been pieced back together again. You see, all they ever needed was a friend, someone to stand by them when the bullying came again. Now they are free, the insults barely sting, don't you see? But one more thing before you go, did you enjoy the little show? Remember, words can hurt more than the punch, Believe me now? Cause this was just a hunch See that girl, The one with the smile? Do you know she's been hurting for a while? See that boy? Yeah, he's so cool! Is that how he appears to be at school? See that girl, With that group alongside? Do you know she considered suicide? See that boy? He seems so alive! But every day he struggles to survive. See those people? All victims of hate. Watch your words before it's too late.
