Tears.
Streaming down -
Confetti at a party
She wasn't invited to.

Rumors.
Handed down -
Ugly, dirty words
That broke... her heart.

Fights.
Going down -
Purple, blue, black bruises
Splattered her body

Blood.
Dripping down -
Soothing, cool metal
Sliced her open.

Death.
Heading down -
That loner you kicked...
He could be next.

Sick that this happens isn't it? If more people would understand this, this world might just have some hope.

I really love this poem. I agree that bullying needs to be stopped, especially since I've been bullied.

This poem really gets to you. Btw, the schools ARE adressing the problem, but they aren't doing it the right way. By just telling someone to say "Stop." to a bully, and hanging up a bunch of posters, the situation is not likely to improve.

Yeah, I know that the schools DO try to address bullying, but they don't do it ENOUGH. I'm glad you liked my poem!

This poem speaks the  truth about the pain that is caused by bullying, and this poem is a reminder of what can happen, if we don't stop what we are doing... Amazing please read and comment on some of my poems
