I watch everything

I watch them go to school,
I watch them run in circles.
I watch them in the morning,
I watch them in the afternoon.

I watch them be pushed around,
I watch them be teased.
I watch them be hurt,
I watch no one do anything.

I watch it happen everyday,
I watch it happen all the time.
And I remember that it was me,
Some two years ago.

But now I'm here all safe and sound,
Tucked up in my cloud.
Away from all those big kids who bullied me.
