Talking is a powerful thing,
but I never did it,
due to the bullying.
I knew if I did,
...

Bullying
Sometimes you get,
slagged, sometimes hit,
either a lot or just a bit,
...

Home is where im safe
no threat of getting,
hit in the face.
Your secrets are safe,
...

“I’m fine” are you?
I’d always say im fine,
but deep down I knew,
that issue eating away,
...

All I ever did was be nice,
share my sweets,
never spread a rumour,
never hit another person.
...

Your thinking,
relief,
de-stress,
I’m thinking,
...

I’m the biggest,
actor and deceiver,
I’m that small quiet, shy,
and harmless person in the class.
...

We all feel it sometime,
but I feel it always,
it’s like eternal pain,
just hoping for a friend,
...

Did you ever cry yourself to sleep?
I did.
Did you ever cut yourself, to feel relief?
I did.
...

This is my life,
but death nears
and all the pain
that I can bear.
...

Look around you,
can’t you see,
the pain that tortures me,
I look at you,
...

Why, how, where and when,
are all questions that,
run through my head.
The bullying, the taunting,
...
