Bully


I look into the mirror and I don't see myself I see words spread across my face I see all others looking back But me I see statistics showing that bullying has Become a huge problem but how huge? So huge that you get swapped into the shadows? So huge that it becomes a black hole? Did you know that black holes tare apart light? But in this midset I have no light to see I have kindness tattooed in invisible ink On every inch of my body and I lack The special light to make myself glow People killin' people dien' children Hurt and you hear them cryin' Could you practice what you preach or Would you turn the other cheek Father, father, father help us Send some guidance from up Above cause pee got me got me Questioning where is the love? What would you do if you saw The new kid getting shoved into the locker? Saw the person who goes to feh thrift shop Getting laughed at and mocked? Treat them like your sister Like your cousin like your best friend Or treat them like your brother Some don't have mothers some dont Have fathers but that's nothing to Laugh at if you are in so much pain How does me jointing you make The world any different the world Would be a big pit of pain I will help myself get up and anyone Else who needs me cause I've been There and done that I wish That pain on no one else I know it's hard but try to be better Then those who hurt you step Into the light that makes you Glow with kindness
