At school there's a kid named Chester He roams the halls finding kids to pester Not a single person likes him He scares people and makes them feel grim Nobody has the guts to take a stand And show him that he's not a man He thinks he's so tough and big But on the inside he's as weak as a twig
People refer to him as "infector" The things he says and the things he does Make people feel like dust He's affected so many peoples lives And taken away their strive To pursue what makes them happy If only there was someone, maybe That could show he's only a big baby
There's a new girl at school, her name is Kelli She's not your average girl, she has a big belly When word around school reached Chester He made it his personal goal to infest her But Kelli, she is not your ordinary girl Her past is not at all like a shining pearl She's been through more than any could fathom But Chester was ready to scare her like a phantom
When Chester approached her everyone held their breath They all knew he was about to bully her to death But Kelli knew it was coming and wouldn't let it happen She had the guts to stand up to him and slap him What Kelli did shocked the whole school And made standing up to Chester seem cool That day marked the start of something new And standing up to Chester, anyone can do Now people have hope and courage To live their lives and let it flourish.
To many, this might just seem like a poem about a bully at school. But i wrote this for a creative writing last year as a symbolism assignment. Chester is not only a bully, but he is supposed to represent cancer. Kelli is a girl who has cancer, but she stands up to it and shows strength and courage. She's not going to let having cancer ruin her life, rather she looks on the bright side and toughens it out and wants to show other people what standing up to cancer and fighting it can do.
