Summer
Moran, a sophomore at Peoples
Academy
in Morrisville, says she wrote this poem after a hard year of being bullied. She
says that bullying has had a big impact on her life and this poem is about what
it’s like to go through the experience. "I hope that this inspires people to
shout out if they are being bullied because if you don’t say something now or
when it starts, then you could change in a way you don’t want to be or will
regret."
Seeing the bully walk around the school
probably thinking that she is very cool
Makes me want to run and hide
looking at the classrooms to go inside
Going to school each and every day
not telling the teachers what I have to say
Teachers look at me wondering why
I try to go find a place to hide
But when I finally tell
the rest of my school days turn to hell
Thinking about going to school
makes me want to pretend that I don’t feel good
All the kids look at me
as if they see right through me
Making me feel invisible
but the bully invincible
Looking at the bully made me go away
wondering if everything will be okay
Noticing my personality had gone away
made me do things I regret today
Hearing that school starts soon
makes me want to go cry in my room
‘Cause I only want to go to Upward Bound
where I’m not afraid to make a sound
