Speak Up, Don't Stand Alone


Don’t let people control you in your life

Be your own person, be your own life guard

Take action, don’t stab yourself with a knife

Life isn’t a game where you throw in a card

Find a friend to help guide you through hard times

Speak up to an important grown adult

Being bullied isn’t fair to you, it’s all crimes

Be brave and bold, don’t just take an insult

Share what’s happening, don’t feel helpless alone

Know that people do care about your safety

No one will assist what they do not know

What happens to you is very shitty

No one deserves to be treated like crap

Only you can escape from the death trap
