Do you know how it feels
Could you really know what it's like
To be verbally abused
To have words cut like a knife

Have you ever felt the fury
Having been punched or slapped
Simply because someone could
Then look into your eyes and laugh

Have you ever been the quiet one
Always a bit different than the rest
Trying each day to just make it through
Have you ever been an outcast because of how you dress

Have you even been to small
Maybe you are the one they feel is too big
Their words and actions bring you to a breaking point
Have you ever made someone feel they no longer wanted to live

At this very moment
Another child has taken their life
Another bully is destroying someones spirit
When they are done there is another close behind

Have you been the one to take the abuse
Maybe the one that looks the other way
You could be the one that does the damage
Just know these are memories that will never fade

If we all could just think before we act
Try to feel what our actions can inflict
For a moment, try to step into the shoes of another
Maybe then some of this torment would not exist

There are the bullies of the internet
Sometimes there are many who will band as one
Never thinking or caring
How destructive words can become

Could you be that one person to shout its wrong
To stop a punch before it hits
To stand tall against those who bully
To be that one person who resists
