Bullying

I am the child that can't catch the ball And runs with an awkward gait. I am the one chosen last on the team And I cringe as I stand there and wait. I am the child with whom no one will play -- The one that gets bullied and teased. I try to fit in and I want to be liked, But nothing I do seems to please.I’ve had a rough life with bullying for my disability’s no one at my school ever likes playing with me and if they let me they push me away. I am the child who hides in the shade, Away from the taunts and the jeers. I dream of a world where I'm not afraid, And laughter's not tainted by tears. In the mirror, I see what they see, A target for cruel words and scorn. But inside, there's a spirit yearning to be free, A heart that's battered yet refuses to be broken.

Dont worry about the bullies,
Their just sad,
They got a hard life, so they feel they gotta tease,
They may not have disabilities, but they probably got no dad,
No one to raise them properly, with love,
They suffer mentally, they try to hide it,
With mean words, which hurts, it sure does,
Now look at them not for how rude they are, but how their just a hurt kid,
Its hard to write this with rhyme,
But when they hurt your feelings, just smile,
It might make them more mad on the outside, but really they'll look up to you, and you'll shine.
It will make them hurt, and make them less hostile,
The saying,
Sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt,
Its not very true,
Names do hurt

Now you understand how, the layers beneath:
Bullies cloak their pain in cruelty,
Their anger masks a deeper grief,
And you, bearing your own silent wounds,
Learn to see beyond the jeers and sneers,
You stand unwavering, not just a target,
Finding true strength in empathy,
A quiet power in your gentle heart,
As you walk through the halls,
The echoes of taunts fade away,
Replaced by a sense of resolve,
A determination to rise above,
To be more than their words,
To break free from the shadows,
And finally let your spirit soar.
