Take a Stand


Beaten down with words and actions. Bullies do not know they affect. They don't know my every reaction to their hurtful hate. Disconnected from the world. Headphones spewing music loudly. My brother in his room sleeping very soundly.Take the pills from the bottle. Lowest of the low in life. My mind started racing. What will I truly gain? Bullies should not get their satisfaction. Give them dissatisfaction by being strong enough to keep on going, keep on living. It's time to take a stand.
