When I watch you being teased
I don't know what to say
I can only see
The way that you suffer
Day to day
I am amazed
That you sit still, that you sit there
And let them have their fun.
You let them jibe, you let them
Joke.
They wound your spirit. They wound your soul.
And you let them continue on.
You're hurt. You're frail.
They don't see that. They don't care.
I stand up.
For you in Pain.
I stand up.

Why did I write this piece? I see people being teased or bullied everyday. I used to be one of them. I hate how people can be so cruel.
