Forever in my Mind

Throughout my life, throughout anyone's life there was at least one person who was mean and rude, maybe even abusive and this poem comes from deep within my heart about what bullying can do.

If I was taller would you call me a giraffe?

If I was fat, would you call me that?

If I was slim would you call me friend?

Or would you spew your hateful words behind my back?

You are never happy until you make fun of me,

those hurtful words crush and kill me.

All I have to say at the end of the day,

'how is it you can hate me, when all I have ever done to you is nothing?'

I sit in the back of the room,

waiting for you to come, waiting for the bullying too, 

you just smile at me, I am too confused until the bell rang

and your gang jumped me in the halls, hushing my screams,

and I waited for you to abuse me,

it hurt but not as bad as hearing those words.

I knew you had no soul, no heart at all,

as I looked into your cold eyes, no emotions at all.

I cried in my bed, nursing my bruised body and head,

and finally it was done, no more hurt will there come,

because I am free, free to be me,

as I walk into the gates of heaven proudly on my feet.

It is a great protest against those who bully,tease and abuse.
I appreciate your eloquent statement.
Let such injustice and caprice stop.
Let the conscience of human dominate over meanness and rudeness.
