Poems from the Heart

Who are You?

Bullying. 

You hear it.

You see it.

But who are you?

Are you the bully,

The one who's truly a cruel person,

The one who wants more power?

Or maybe you've been hurt so badly,

That you think someone else should feel your pain?

I promise you,

There's different ways to express yourself,

Different ways to speak.

Are you the bystander,

The one who watches,

The one who thinks it's wrong but can't talk?

You're so afraid they'll go to you next, 

Afraid you'll get the hurt and the pain for standing up,

Just because you decided to help another person out.

It's hard to speak up, I know, 

But sometimes hurt is what you get in return for doing what's right.

Are you the follower,

The one who laughs,

The one who agrees with whatever the "Cool" kids say?

Tell me this:

Do you really believe in what they're doing?

Do you really believe that this poor human being,

This person,

Deserves this? Are the "Cool" kids really that cool?

And finally, the victim, 

The ones who cry for themselves,

The ones who get hurt beyone repair,

The ones who think their life isn't good enough.

I speak to you this:

You are beautiful human beings,

and better people than the will ever be.

You. You are worth it.

I leave you, 

The reader,

With this:

Who are you?
