Impact of Bullying

Bullying is what closes my lips

Bullying is what is of closed minds

Bullying is the fear coursing through veins

Fear that does nothing but binds

It binds the soul, and the heart

It binds what we're made of

Our insides, our intelligence,

Our creativity, None of it's above

Above the fear we can't control

Why we avoid school and the world,

Why we never speak out, say our word

Why goosebumps form, fingers curled

Curled into punches never thrown,

Tongues with words that never leave the tips

Creative imaginations that never expresses

Speeches that could inspire, yet never leave lips

You never see it coming, all the signs there

Never know where, never know when

It's happened before, many times ago

All we can do now, is prevent it from happening again.
