Bullying
As tears run down my face
Eyes open wide
Laughter haunts my dreams
No where to hide.
Words cause me pain
Isolation is my name
People pass me by
Without a minute of shame.
Home in the dark
No where to hide
Enemies creeping in
Coming along for the ride.
Parents not a clue
Of the pain deep inside
Thinking life is good
Not knowing what's inside.
Demons in my head
Turning day to night
Time to put out
All the miserable fight.
Walking in my room
Looking for the answer
Nothing to be found
It's like a growing cancer.
Wishing things were different
Not understanding why
Life should be sweeter
Never wanted to say "goodbye".
Lightness all around
Colors bright and cheerful
Wish my family were here
To see I'm no longer tearful.
Wrapped in angels wings
Looking down below
I see the ones who taunted me
Standing in a row.
The gate is barely open
Jesus frowning at the ground
Shaking his head from left to right
His smile turned upside down.
His words were strong and clear
As he looked into their eyes
And asked them all the question
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
You never saw the tears
You never felt the pain
You took an angel from the earth
Without any shame.
No love, no kindness, no show of remorse
Will send you on a journey
From which there is no escape
And certainly no returning.
You veered from the course
And caused someone pain
You put out their light
Took away their rain.
So think my children
Before you speak
For life is too short
Not to be kind and sweet.
