that boy you called gay for picking flowers
laid them on his parents graves
the girl you called a whore for sleeping around
was abused since a very young age

that emo kid everyone makes fun of
plans to die tonight
when the boy you push around goes home
everyone's in a fight

the kid you punched the other day
gets hit enough at home
that girl you always tell she's fat
throws up her food when she's alone

the kid everybody tells they're dumb
has been told that all their life
maybe you think it's funny
but to them, it hurts more than their knife
Bullying is wrong. Even on a small level like just saying a couple nasty things hurts. What if everything in this poem is happening to the people you make fun of? Think before you say this stuff because it sinks deep and never really goes away after you tell it to someone. I know from experience.

I just saw this again and actually said "oh shit" out loud because I relate entirely to the last two parts.
