Why are you in the middle of this?

Why?
Why?
WHY?

you remember the day
make that days
the days i came home crying
the mean girl at school
the teacher I couldn't catch a break with
the friend that turned her back
the boy that broke my heart
the brother that put me down

every single one of those days
I wished
I prayed
for someone
anyone
to help me
to be on my side
to stick up for me just this once

and my friend gets hurt
almost in tears
and you expect me to sit around?
to not say anything

they teach you that not standing out
thats bullying too
but what they really mean is
only stand out if you can't get hurt either
only stick up for someone
if you are safe

what kind of standing out is that?
its the kind that leads you right back to where you started
the kind that wishes for help
and never gets it
