Gravity
that's what holds us down
at times it knocks us to the ground


Gravity
and only gravity has that power

your words are weak

just like you
they don't push me up against lockers

or trip me in the hall


they hurt

but they don't hold
one day they will float away


into space
lost forever, they dissipate


Gravity
and only gravity has that power

No worries guys I'm not being harassed, i read about this kid who was bullied so much that he brought a knife to school and stabbed the bully, to think he was pushed to such a point scared me so I wrote this poem
