Down the Hallway
Walking down a battlefield
Barrages of names
Insults
Anything to make you feel like
The worst human to live.
But,
What do yo do about it?
Nobody really helps
Not your friends
Or your family
Not even your teachers
Who promised to be right there
If anyone called you
An ugly name.
So who do you turn to
When nobody wants to help?
When your teachers don't believe you
Because you can't show proof.
I promise you
If you don't give in
If you don't listen to their poisonous words
It will get better
You just have to try
Find someone
Anyone
Who'll listen to you
They don't have to be your friend
Or someone you know all that well
Anyone will do.
Just don't
Give
Up
