Through my perspective


Bullies
They come and go
They're not a friend, but a foe.
They sit quietly in class
But outside, they kick my ass.

To you, they are angels
To you, they are amazing
To you, they are bright
To you, they do no harm

To me, they hurt
They caused these scars on my arm
But thankfully I have learned
That they don’t deserve to see me hurt

I, too, walk these halls
I, too, see others fall
But I'm there for them
Because unlike you,

I see it all.
