How Bullying Works
Poem by: Harmony A. Perry
Bullying happens every day without half the world knowing
Bullying is not a victimless crime
Bullying has long term effects that can hurt anybody even you
Someone could be a victim without a voice
Someone needs to speak up for them
It could be you it could be me but someone needs to speak up now
Before it’s too late
If time runs out there will be guilt, pain, and sadness
You could tell an adult but will that show your weakness
So you just bottle it up inside
Covering your weakness with a fake smile
As you go on with your school day
You go home but one thing you should never do at home
You cry, you try to conceal your tears but… can you really
You quickly stop as your parents walk in you put on a fake smile
They ask about your day it was completely horrible
But you smile and say it was good
Little do they know your secretly lying what could they do about it anyway
Call the school make a bigger situation
Been seen as even more weak
You come home after a whole gruesome week and you just can’t bear your pain
You breakdown at dinner after telling your parents
You talk to a counselor every day
The problem is fixed
If you or someone is a victim of bullying please tell someone this is a problem that needs to end now help the cause!

By the first star I see
Wait, what… aren’t we tired of the old wishing prayer
I say we make a new one….. so haw bout this.
Wish upon a star so beautiful and bright
Here’s my wish of the night.
