SPEAK OUT!

Stop!
Stop this madness!
Stop this pain!
I'm going insane
I can't take it anymore
I thought I could hold onto this,
But honestly, I can't.
I'm filled with unspoken words of anger and anguish
I'm tired!
I'm sick and tired of being pushed around.
Being told what to do,
NOT knowing what to do
Because I'm just a feeble slave of yours,
A prey tangled up in your web of torture.
Being attacked brutally,
Blinded away from safety

I try to walk away
Like what everyone say.
Yet I'm still targeted by your hungry eyes.
Craving for power.
Thirsty for strength.

PUSHED. KICKED. ROBBED. TEASED. LAUGHED AT?
Why do you do this?

I'm human.
Just like everyone else.
Just like YOU.

You have problem?
So do I.
You hurt.
I scream.
How does that solve anything?

You bring me down like gravity.
Unlike it, I have the power
To change what you do to me.
Unlike you, I know right from wrong
Wrong from right.
Because I know its not worth it
I've got love and support,
Which gives me courage to
SPEAK OUT!

But,
I can still be a friend.
Just don’t be my foe.
Just please stop.

I enjoy writing poems that many people can probably relate to, so I figured since bullying is a big issue, I should try writing about a victim's point of view.
