A/N: This is inspired by the #NoMoreBullying challenge. I have been bullied as a child for as many times as I can remember. Some endure through the hard struggles. Some do not make it, forfeiting even their lives as their minds have been pushed to the brink. I honor this poem to the bullied, the victims, and the condemned! I, Midna Carrion, salute you! ^^

Here lies her dignity:
Born: January 24, 1999. Died to this day in 2015.
Braving each and every insult into tiny, numerous scars,
Yet treating the world with the same kindness as Jesus has taught you.
As I place a bluebonnet upon your gravestone,
I salute you.
To the graves of the fallen sent to oblivion,
I salute you.
To the shallow tombs of the wrongfully condemned,
I salute you.
To the ones whose mouths have been forcefully taped shut,
As their persecutors tortured them with vengeful words
And crucified their dignity until they could no longer breathe--
I promise to the god-willed foundation of my morals:
I will salute you!
I will remember the graves of the souls who rest here;
The graves of lives who met their ends for the sake of social injustice.
May your soul rest in peace...

A/N: Here are my ninety words for the challenge:
"The bottom, surface line here is that bullying is a social injustice. However, not everyone will get the fact that everyone here has been a bully at some point--whether we like it or not. We make fun of each other. We call each other names. We make jokes for the sake of our amusement. While it may seem lighthearted, it can hurt someone's feelings; they just choose to hide it. Even people who are flaming bullies themselves can be considered bullies. It's an escalating effect and will tear us apart even further, if we can't even acknowledge this. There are multiple ways of tackling the solution, but I truly believe genuine acknowledgment is a first step."
