Bullies

Everyday he comes home 
Beaten Black and blue
His neighbour said what happened
He said he hurt his self in the loo
 
The bullies take him there
Flushing his head 
It might be just water 
But for him it's torture
 
They take his dinner money
So he has to savage through the bin
The teachers are meant to be supportive 
But they laugh making the bully win
 
Every step he take towards his class 
He feesl like his life is coming to a end 
He only is Trying to make a friend 
 
He's there standing in the middle of the coridoor
Getting pushed and shoved 
He just wants to be loved 
 
He has a father who likes to gamble
No place to eat cos he has no table
A mother who is a druggy
And a Baby sister crying in the buggy
 
He got a busted lip 
From that a punch n kick 
 
Its like his life is falling apart
He is sitting there crying 
jus looking up at de sky
And wondering why
 
So much going on in his life 
He just wants to escape 
Looking so innocent 
But suffering from abuse and rape
 
His body is brusised up 
His mind is messed up
Cant focus on his studies 
Cos he ain got any buddies 
 
No one notices his tears
But they notice his fears
They use it against him
 
 
He doesn't know 
What to do 
Nobody knows 
What he has gone through
 
He was only 11 
When he first heard he'll be 
Soon going to heaven
He had cancer 
But de bully decided
To take it as banter 
 
He jus wanted a few friends 
He was prepared to make amends
For things he didn do 
Willing to do it for a friend or two
 
He died of cancer 
But we all know what he died of 
Depression and loneliness 
But he didn't want to confess
