What if you wake up in the morning and you look forward for what the day holds,
What if you go to school and feel like everyone thinks you should fit into some mould.
What if you wake up in the morning and think everyone will judge you on your weight,
What if you wake up in the morning and you have a mate.
What if you wake up in the morning and being teased is not your life,
What if you wake up in the morning and words are not sliced through you like a knife.
What if you wake up in the morning and you’re not going to be alone,
What if you wake up in the morning and all those popular people are no longer sitting upon that throne.
But instead:
You know what the day holds, you know you do not fit into some mould,
You know people judge your weight, you know there will be no mate,
You know teasing is your life, words do cut through you like a knife,
You will be alone and, popular people will continue to sit upon that throne.
For a victim I will remain, till other people are able to see me for me.
BULLYING, FUN FOR SOME, NOT FOR OTHERS……
