Its Not Okay

As a sixteen year old girl 

Walks the halls of her school

Tears falling from her eyes

Students calling her a “sl*t” or a “w***e”

Because one guy ruined her life

Its Not Okay

For the boy who wears skinny jeans

And wants to wear makeup 

To be best but the hands of his father 

And told to die by his classmates 

Its Not Okay

That the star soccer player

Who bullies the girl who doesn’t speak

To be awarded and praised 

By the schools teachers and the town

While the girl cries herself to sleep

Putting a razor to her wrist

Screaming “Why is this my life”

Its Not Okay

For a town to put children’s bodies in the ground

Kids who should be able to live and grow

Children who will never have a chance 

Its Not Okay

For teachers to ignore students pain 

To not stop the bullying 

To let a student, a child suffer that way

Its Not Okay

That the parents are to blame

The town saying

“control your child a better way”

When parents can only do so much

Working away their day 

To keep their child okay

Putting food on the table

Thinking there child’s safe in a building 

For seven hours of the day

Only to realize their child is dying inside 

But it’s to late

When they all realize what’s wrong

Its Not Okay
