Them.

Ehhhhhh :P

There they all sit, pretending like they don't know.
THEY think it's all okay,
THEY honestly believe that it's just a little push, just playing when they call him all those names.
They are the ones supposed to be his "Friends".
They are the ones supposed to stay by his side.
But, as he stands in silence,
THEY play their games.
They honestly think it's just a little bruise, We only cut him up a bit, friends do that, right?
He cries at night.He thinks thoughts of hurting all the ones that have hurt him.
Just because he's different, THEY think he has no power, no rights.
What if one day THEY went to far?
What if the cuts added up, what if the beatings became worse?
He's unable to cry out, stuck in his own world.
Even if he did ask for help, who could hear his pleas?
Who would reach out to the one that was "Diffrent".
Who would care...?
He cowered in fear as THEY struck their last blow, the tears streaming down the faces of those who never helped.
The ones who never stuck up for him.
And now, he's gone.
And who's fault was it...?
Them?

It's really sad to see things like this happen so many times.

[LilMissWriter17]

This is really really good :) It's sad that this actually happens :(

I can definitely relate to this and so can so many other people. What they did sickens me and to tell you the truth i actually just want to hit them all, and Im trained to not react to that! Very nice plan.

ow.

I wanna go beat up the kids who made fun of me in middle school now. Good poem!

[TWISTED NIGHTMARE]

i love this poem...the truth behind it and that so many people can relate to just the part that they are bullied and that know one knows what the effects actually are...you put it it in such good words and got your point across beautifully...

it is tragic that people have no clue how profoundly their actions can impact another person's life. the world is full of people in pain. even those inflicting the pain are suffering. after all, anyone who has the ability to show such disregard for others is someone who is being fueled by there own sadness. it is a vicious cycle.

thank you for sharing.....very well written.

I meant have moved my not hace. Oh the typos of the feverish writer!!!!:)

[Priscilla Sayers]

Honestly.... I literally said OUTLOUD "Oh my God", you hace moved me. Such a powerful piece of work and a way to reach out to those who were different and suffered or are suffering from this type of ignorance. Brilliantly written.
