RAINBOW POETRY AND OTHER STORIES ➳ [#WattPride]

No World for Bullies

The boy you punched for liking a boy
          has punched himself
          a thousand more.

The girl you slapped for kissing a girl
          stains her legs with
          cigarette burns.

The child you mocked for being too
          smart has tried to
          rip himself in half.

The woman you keep on naming a
          a slut has watched her family
          fall apart.

Our words can cut sharper than knife
          and the things we do
          could end a life.

A little kindness could never hurt
          respect and compassion could
          save the world.

So before you see blood in your hands
          always try to
          understand --

That the world's full of colors and hues
          and it's easier to just
          accept the truth.
