A place of sorrow, of fear, of pain.
A place of joy, of hope, of love.
A place to cry out in fear.
A place to shout in joy.
A place to be myself, and hope not to be judged for who I am.
These simple posters around the school The ones that say "No Bullies" or "Stay Cool!"
Does anyone think they matter? Or do they think the latter
That posters and signs don't work much at all Bullies still go on, victims still fall
But, what would help, may I ask? Is there anything that's up to the task?
Or is highschool a battleground each day The victims the casualty while bullies play
I must say, I prefer the color to blank white walls But what's the point of color in these halls?
It's merely pleasing to the eye But, underneath the color a cry
Of the bullied ones, the victims of school These posters are their only tool
But, no one cares, or listens at all Not here at school, in these halls
These halls are the bane of the meek Their cries sadly are much to weak
But, the bullies also do fear But they hide it behind a sneer
Both sides oppressed, both in fear Both of them trying to be in the clear
But it doesn't work that way Now it's time to give YOUR say
So, give up the fight Instead, hug in the light
Come out from the dark It's time for us to shine like a lark
Put bullying to rest, It's up to you what's best

Hey it's ya boi Cassia!
And today I bring you some serious news, so please listen.
Have you ever been bullied, or BEEN the bully yourself?
I have, sadly I was a bully as well as I have been bullied. Both sides of the spectrum are terrible.
As a victim, you live in fear. You are constantly looking over your shoulder, going to long way to avoid them, and always on edge.
As the bully, you live to terrorize others. People you believe are inferior to you, or don't deserve the simple rights everyone else does because they're better than you. You're jealous of what they can do, so you try to crush whatever hope they have left.
But, what people don't understand is how easy it would be to put a stop to all of this.
"But to stop bullying, everyone would have to work together."
And that's hard to do why?
"Because people don't change!"
There you go.
People believe that humanity DOESN'T change easily.
And most of the time? They're right.
But, YOU can make a difference.
Smile at someone. Just a friendly smile, a wave, even a little "Hi, how are you?" can make a difference in someone's day.
