Uneducated Fantasy

One of the ill effects of cruelty is that it makes the bystanders cruel

Bells ring violently in the air

Punches burning the bodies that care

School walls bleeding out words of pain

Fear flows rapidly thorough your veins

 

Teachers watch, as the students turn grey

Innocent hearts screaming for a way

Lockers glaring with rage

While identities are trapped in a cage

 

Black tears cutting down the cheek

Doors closing for the freak

Scars of bullying never hide

It jumps off the skin; committing suicide

Author's Note

I hope this is decent.. :S

Oh, I HATE bullying. And it happens to both of my older girls. I've had to contact counselors and principals. And they're not freakish or anything, kids just seem to have gotten overly mean these days. It's horrible!!

The poem was really meaningful, and if you couldn't tell, I identified with it right away :) It is frustrating that even when there's supposedly zero tolerance policies other students, and sometime even teachers just look away because they can't be bothered. And it saddens me even more that those who are doing the bullying and having their "fun" don't realize how much damage they're really doing. Great write!!

What a powerful, stunning write.. the stings of pain we cause each other.. the horrors that must breathe in the minds of those berated and beaten. It breaks my heart..

You have terrifically balanced darkness with beauty and your chosen words paint such a fantastic yet sad picture for me to gaze upon with my mind.

This poem is really great. A great messge about bullying, you are right the thing about cruelty or bullying it makes the by standers just as guilty as the bullies are. Well done.
