Bullying Hurts

 

 

The pain of being bullied cuts deep

It’s a pain that millions know and don’t know all at the same time

Bullying can completely destroy a person’s life

SHATTERING their HOPES and DREAMS

Making them wish for the death’s sweet touch

Just so the pain will go away

Making them wish that they didn’t have a heart or care

So that the pain wouldn’t be as bad

 

Bullying makes girls starve, cut, and cake their faces in makeup

Just so people will finally say she’s pretty

It makes boys cut and commit suicide

Grown adults still feel ugly

Even if the taunts stopped and the bullies are gone

For words can, HURT, KILL, and DESTROY people

Words can cut deeper than any sword

Their scars sometimes never fade

A word can make a small child dream of death’s kiss

Yes, words can heal a wounded soul

But it’s a whole lot easier to destroy than

To build

unfortunately this is the way that many live their life

lost in their pain

unable to see past today

to them there is no future and DEATH is their only option

stop this cycle of pain and death

Make a difference in this world

Because even though sticks and stones can break your bones

WORDS can break someone's heart and shatter their spirits

So instead of calling that girl fat

or whispering about that guy behind his back

Tell her she’s beautiful çause she is on the inside

Give that guy a break and give him a chance

I bet you he’s an ok person once you meet him

Stop with the bullying because

WORDS DO HURT
