Word to the Wise Dear Bully

Hey you there come over here

There's something you need to hear

You're a bully there I said it

I just thought you should know

I'm not surprised that you feign offense

You're too high and mighty to admit it

I've seen you push people out of your way

I saw you step on people to get what you want

You can pamper yourself and wear the latest style

But honey you're ugly on the inside

And you can never hide that nor deny that

Whether you deny it or not makes no difference

The truth is still the truth whether you like it or not

I'm so glad I've finally said what's been on my mind

I've wanted to tell you since I first saw you

Who am I you ask well does it really matter

There's nothing you or your sidekick bullies can do to hurt me

Here's the thing I want to know what happened

Something terrible must've happened to make you like this

Evil isn't born but rather it's made

So why are you a mean girl and why are you a bully

Often people who hurt others are actually hurting themselves

If I can help you I will but I wanted you to know

The horrendous things you've done to everyone around you

Aren't going to disappear and people won't easily forgive

But I have faith that even the darkest of souls can find the light

When I called you over here it was on a whim

I didn't know exactly what I was going to say or how

But the words just tumbled out of their own accord

Miss Mean girl you are a bully

But just remember you don't have to stay one

I should know because I was once a mean girl and a bully too

Somehow I went from ruler of the school to drooler of the school.

I feel hard and I fell fast and I hit the bottom of the chain

To be honest I like it down here better

But I still miss the top and I hope that you will find a sweet spot in the middle

There's always going to be someone better than you or smarter than you

There's always going to be someone worse than you or less smart than you

But it's not your job to put people into categories

It's not your job to demean and torment

It's your job to be a person who everyone can love and who you can look at in the mirror and love

Some people are going to always hate

Some people are always going to love

Who are you going to be mean girl?

You can go back to school and stay a bully forever

Or you can ride the wave of growth and learning

You'll find one leads to loneliness and the other to friendships.

I hope that with my piece of wisdom I've kept you from making the same mistakes I did

Wake up mean girl cause it's now or never

Who you going to choose to be
