The World Problem: Bullying

A/N first: I was writing this poem and it was going to go a different way, but I needed to write it. You will be able to tell where I changed where I was going with it, but please read the poem. It's a real issue. Don't just skip it bc you don't like the topic. Okay, onward!

Have you ever had that feeling
Where you don't know how you are.
You just... are in that moment.
What do you do in those moments?
Do you just think and wonder if there's a reason you are in this mood or are you just sad
And you don't know what for.

Well, let me tell you.
For me, I'm in that mood because I'm just... I'm confused.
I wonder about my existence,
Why am I here?
What will I do?
Am I going to change people's lives,
Or just have them change mine?

I think about my relationships.
With parents, with siblings, with other relatives.
With teachers, with friends, with maybe more than friends.
Am I annoying her? Does he hate me?
Am I a disgrace? A disappointment?
A good example?
Maybe more of an embarrassment than anything else.

But then I remember,
One day, we will all be the same.
No one will be more popular than someone else.
No one will be uglier or smarter.
We are all going to die,
So why does it matter what our personal status is?

It doesn't.
Don't let people judge you for being different.
Being different is what makes you the way you are.
Imagine all of us were the same.
How boring would that be?
But we are all special, and we complete each other.

Like my friends.
Without one of them, I wouldn't be as outgoing.
Without another, I wouldn't be so Tom Holland obsessed.
Without another, I wouldn't have been able to write this poem.

So don't let people tell you that you are a disgrace.
Just ignore the hate.
People may judge you now, but oh well.
People are messed up.
And just because they look perfect doesn't mean they are.
Everyone has flaws, but some are hidden better than others.

Remember, be kind to others.
You don't know what they are going through.
She might be abused at home.
He might be thinking about suicide.
She might've had an abortion.
They might've been abandoned by their family.
But they are still amazing.
They will get through it if someone is there for them.

So go get out there.
Make friends with people.
Be kind.
And don't let the attacks on you take over.
We love you how you are and can't imagine the world without you.
I mean what's PB without J?
Lots of people care for you so stay with us. Please.

Okay... so different than where I thought it was going but I think the message needed to be sent out. People, there's lots of bullying going around. You don't need to add onto it. If you see someone being bullied, please stand up for them. You will be rewarded for it one day. I have had minor bullying from someone and it's not fun. So I'm going to try to do something about it. I hope you will too.
Until next time, goodbye.
