Bullying Changes Lives


I come from blurry images that look back at me from the mirror I say I'm beautiful but harsh words from the past hit me like a pair of Anvils weighing down on me Bulying hurts and lays skin deep Words like You ugly You stink Sticks and stays like dirt on your new jays Flicks and sways like leaves in the beginning and end of days We should let it drop today Like rain in a puddle It's subtle But still makes ripples Words are like numbers and fractions They can tripple in action So sad when it happens Bullying changes lives Not for the better but for worse Can you figure out why? Maybe you can shake it off Maybe it still hurts But it's more than just words Self esteem issues Laid up with tissues Don't know you're worth it Yes you deserve it To feel special Cause you are You shine bright like a star You'll go far I hope you see it Cause I do Because I've been bullied too
