You Can Either Be A Friend Or A Bully

You can either be a friend or a bully,
Treat them respect or insult them fully,
You can either make them feel loved, content and happy,
Or make them feel like they’re worthless and make them feel unhappy,

You either have a choice to lend them a hand or not,
To make them lie in their own pit of despair and rot,
You can either criticize them or praise them,
And make them feel like a precious gem,

If you lend them a hand,
They will learn how to stand,
And learn they will learn how to stop their smiles from being fake,
Now, they will have no reason to ache,

See it wasn’t that hard,
You didn’t have to ignore them and disregard,
You just had to stop with your insults and help them learn how to stand,
So, stop bullying and lend a hand.
