But they don't know


Have you ever been bullied?

Have you had dreadful words thrown at you?

Those words hurt,

they cut deep into your soul, your heart.

But why do they do it?

Have they never been in your shoes?

Maybe they don't know the words are killing you.

If only you could tell them,

tell them that they are killing you inside.

Then maybe they would stop, 

stop being so hurtful.
