Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


Dear mom, I'm sorry I never came home that night,
Some kids thought it would be okay to start a fight.
As you see I never made it home,
I got used to being all alone.
The hospital finally called after I committed my act,
A speeding train hit me and there's no going back.
I hope you don't cry out your lovely eyes,
I got tired of waking up and throwing on a disguise.
Gone without a note let alone a word,
Always tried to speak but never was heard.
It's a shame how far this had to go,
Least now I don't have to suffer slow.
I may not have been as strong as I wanted too,
But I'm here to explain a few things to you.
No matter what you think you're never alone,
Somebody loves you to call their own.
I was desperate and I gave up the fight,
Keep wondering through that dark tunnel and you'll find the light.
Stand up to your enemies and conquer your fears,
You don't deserve to be put down, especially by your peers.
Let your voice be heard, make the words ring forever,
To stop this pandemic, you gotta prove you're stronger.
Dear grandma, I bet you're wondering why I did this?
You better bet it's you I'm gonna miss.
The reason for my act will go unknown,
Couldn't deal with the pain of being alone.
During my difficult times, you were always there,
When nobody else did, I knew you would care.
I hope I didn't give you a heart attack with the latest news,
The doctors tried to save me but there's nothing they could do.
Remember the times you told me to never give up?
To fight for who I am and that would be enough?
Well, I apologize that I went and let you down,
I'll keep watch over you and I'll still be around.
The outcome of this situation is that I no longer have to suffer,
I wanted nothing more than to speak but my words would simply buffer.
I may not have been as strong as I wanted too,
But I'm here to explain a few things to you.
No matter what you think you're never alone,
Somebody loves you to call their own.
I was desperate and I gave up the fight,
Keep wondering through that dark tunnel and you'll find the light.
Stand up to your enemies and conquer your fears,
You don't deserve to be put down, especially by your peers.
Let your voice be heard, make the words ring forever,
To stop this pandemic, you gotta prove you're stronger.
Dear world, are you proud of what you have become?
A society where pushing people to suicide is fun?
School is supposed to be safe but teachers don't do a thing,
You become a target once that school bell rings.
People think that when they throw an insult it doesn't hurt,
What about all those cuts that the person hides under their shirt?
It's sad that suicide has become a permanent solution to a temporary issue,
If this world could care more, maybe the death count could be few.
I was a victim of bullying which is now a disease,
The only cure everyone knows is to simply leave.
A death shouldn't be triggered in order for someone to stand out,
And that's the purpose of my message, to gather a crowd.
The world needs a new scenery, don't leave it the same,
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.
I may not have been as strong as I wanted too,
But I'm here to explain a few things to you.
No matter what you think you're never alone,
Somebody loves you to call their own.
I was desperate and I gave up the fight,
Keep wondering through that dark tunnel and you'll find the light.
Stand up to your enemies and conquer your fears,
You don't deserve to be put down, especially by your peers.
Let your voice be heard, make the words ring forever,
To stop this pandemic, you gotta prove you're stronger.
In my name, do me this favor,
Prove to the entire world you can be stronger.

This article was inspired by everyone out there who is suffering from bullying, depression, eating disorders, and any other type of affliction that causes problems in their life. Bullying is a nationwide pandemic that can easily be stopped. The gal of my message is to gather a crowd willing to help elminate bullying once and for all. Remember, one person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.
