Change Happens


What happens when you reach and no one is there what happens when everyone's expectations are unfair what happens when all you face is disappointment what happens when you're the one they're annoyed with what happens when you can't understand why what happens when no one hears your cry what happens when you're just a kid what happens when you can't figure out what you possibly did what happens when your love isn't reciprocated what happens when you wake up to hatred what happens when you realize you're not free what happens when you're prone to just flee what happens when they control your every move what happens when sadness is a permanent mood what happens when you're never enough what happens when it's just too much what happens when you want to just go away what happens when no one wants you to stay what happens when you finally give in what happens when you don't care if they win what happens when now it's too late what happens when their remorse is fake what happens when this is a continuation what happens when it's all over our nation what happens when we realize lives are on the line what happens when we start to fight bullying, one at a time Change.
