Bullying Destroys - Original Poem

My body has met many surfaces;
It has been thrown against the wall,
Pushed to the floor,
Smashed into the lockers.
My mind has met many attacks;
It has been sculpted to believe I am worthless,
Pushed around and made to self-loath,
Smashed into fragmented pieces of what it once was.
Bullying has tested my strengths,
Weakened my once-strong barriers,
Broken down the confident girl I once had been.

Bullied to Bully - Original Poem

As I am shoved to the wall,
Thrown to the floor.
Shoved into a locker,
Mocked and teased,
Hurt both physically and mentally,
I stand back up and shake it off.
A bully gets no greater joy
Than seeing the bullied down.
As a victim of bullying,
I say stand back up,
Stand against the hurt,
Get help from another,
Support someone being bullied,
Do not throw the bully back.
Leave the walls alone,
Do not throw others to the floor,
Keep people out of lockers,
Restrain yourself from mocking and teasing,
Do not become a bully
As you try to escape that very issue.

Us Together - Original Poem

There is darkness and there is light,
There are smiles and there are frowns.
Yet every time I look at you,
There is a shining path of love
Opened up for you and I,
Shining with the smiles we have exchanged,
Lit up with the promises that hold us together,
And kept together by the feelings we share.
In the darkness you give me light,
I send my smiles to end your frowns.
Every time I look at you,
There is a shining path of love.
