Overcoming the bully!


She's walking down the hall Trying not to bawl She's headed up a flight of stairs Thinking "who really cares" She's sitting on her bed Trying to ignore the voices in her head She hides behind a mask And wonders why they don't ask If she's ok They call here a hurtful name And they are the ones to blame For her feeling this way Every painful day She is emotionally scarred And it's hard For her to get up Every morning She looks in the mirror And it's hard not to see the fear In her eyes She starts to cry And wants to die She picks up a knife To end her life She looks at her wrist And wants to be gone with the mist She drops to her knees And can hardly breath She doesn't sob Because she has a job To do She is anxious To tell her story She can taste the glory On her tongue Because today is the day Her bullies are put away She can finally relax Because it over No more attacks She can finally smile But it will take awhile For the fear to leave She wakes up Goes to school She can finally breath And for once she doesn't want to leave She has overcome the bully!
