To Be Bullied......

To be bullied by anyone is demeaning and so cruel
It’s wrong, now how would you feel. if that was you?

Too ashamed to speak up or tell somebody you know
The pain that you are in and why you’re feeling so low

To hide away in your room, maybe not attend school
To be nervous of everyone or made to feel like a fool

To be put down and even start to believe all they say
When you feel intimidated, scared and dread everyday

What would you do, how could you try make this stop
Find the courage within, so you could get back on top

When you dislike yourself and the way that you feel
Or you’re anxiously awaiting the next terrible ordeal

To be bullied by anyone; can slowly eat away at you
You question everything but what else can you do?

Try to believe in yourself, speak to someone you trust
Put a stop to these bullies for they are merely locust

Sadly they feed off, people’s vulnerability and tears
Cowards who get satisfaction, when you are in fear
You are strong and you don’t deserve what they do
Find somebody to confide in, so they can help you
