Facing Your Fears When it comes to Bullying


The dark sky is filled with strange dark clouds Every night it’s hard for me to sleep Dreaming of being attacked Makes me not want to eat I can hear the bully calling my name I put the white soft pillows over my head Hoping the sound of his scratchy voice will stop There it goes again Ringing like an alarm clock I am very frightened and alone in this place The room is pitch black where I can’t see anything I can feel the bully beating me down While I’m punching back with my fist balled up BOOM! I opened my eyes and everything stops The strange noises went away But I am still terrified Was this reality or just a dream? Who knows? I can taste the sweetness of honey When my mom used to make me tea Everything looks blue as I got up from my soft bed I looked out the window and it was still dark The stars in the sky lit up a big smile on my face Bullying can’t have control over me
