Stand up for yourself
Once when I was little I made a friend
I never imagined that this is how it was going to end
I was picked on repeatedly for a while
Everything they said to me was very vile
The words made me feel so weak
Somehow they got me to feel like a freak
As they continued to bully me
I just wanted to flee
Running away from my problems felt like all I wanted to do
So there I would sit alone in my room
Until one day I couldn’t take it anymore
I was done fighting this war
I told my mom and dad later that day
After all the anxiety they caused I knew that I was finding a clear pathway
To speak out to my bully and end the fight
The last time I cried over them was that night
The next day I came to school
I was tried and done with the bully being cruel
So I spoke up for what they were doing that was wrong
And now I realize what I did was so strong
If I didn’t speak up for what I thought
I would not be in this very spot
I succeed in life and the things I do
Just because I spoke up and had my final breakthrough
