When people look at me
I wonder what they say
But maybe I am better off
Not knowing, in this way
They tell us go to school
Better yourself this way
But how am I gaining
When I lose myself each day
Walking through the halls
Whispers can be heard
School can be torture
If you are deemed a nerd
Bullying free zone
That's what the teachers say
They don't see it as it happens
But we see it every day
What if I could just end it
One girl asks on the brink
As she picks up her razor
And sits down on the sink
A second and I'll be done
Never to hear again
The question isn't "Will it happen?"
It should just be "When?"
So if you see a person
Sitting there alone
Sit down right beside them
Show them that they're known

Bullying happens, just let someone know that they are not alone...
