Bullying

They said my face is ugly
And they don't like my hair
They hate my school bag
And the shoes that I wear
I got pushed up the corridor
Whacked on my thigh
They laughed in my face
I tried not to cry
Please mum , don't make me
Go back to that school
Nobody likes me
I feel like a fool
I would rather be lonely
Than surrounded by that
No smile on my face
My emotions are flat
Mum spoke to my teacher
Told him how I was feeling
Said I was being bullied
And my esteem needed healing
He told mum he would sort it
At break time today
Get the bullies together
See what they have to say
My stomach was nervous
Anxious thoughts in my head
What if they get mad
My mind was full of dread
Later that day
I received four handwritten letters
Apologising for their behaviour
Saying they would be better
They knew they'd been mean
All looking me in the eye
'We won't do it again..
..why don't we try
To all play together
No nastiness  or hatred
Just fun and laughter
Because friendship is sacred
So we played together
And are now good friends
Which just goes to prove
There can be good in the end
Bullying can be solved
Never keep it to yourself
Tell an adult or your friend
Never leave it on the shelf !
