Disfunctional,
never punctual,
always fighting
leads us to stress and nail biting
we can't go one minute without something frightening,
but we're family and that's what we do
we're family, even if we hang around with other crews
we're family, look at what we have been through--
you're not strong enough, not fast enough, not tall enough, and nowhere near strong enough----he said
you're too weak, you'll be beat, you're stupid, what's wrong with you? you can't see?---she said
STOP! I can't take it anymore, you're all bringing me down, again and again no more!-- i said
Pow, there he goes again, hitting her to the floor, for trying to defend--
when will she leave? when will she have had enough?
hopefully soon, he's too rough—they say
she walks into school, hiding her tears and the bruises
wishing more people would close their mouths and open their ears
but when she talks nobody hears
she’s all alone-
she calls her friends when she gets home,
nobody answers, she’s on her own
she sits on her bead,
takes out the lead,
pulls the trigger, and now shes dead
she wishes somebody would have heard her
so listen up,
pay attention
you don’t know whats going on,
suicide is spreading because of bullying like an infection
Don’t be a victim or suspect—
be on the lookout--detection
