They all surrounded her
Laughing at the way she whimpered
They push her down once more
This time she shivers
Tears are streaming down
Their laughter rings in her ears
Within she is breaking down
They are her bullies here
She is walking down the hallway
Whispers are surrounding her
This is just another day
Another prank against her they would stir
She is helpless inside,
Why don't they see?
There's no more life in her eyes oh so naive...
She is breaking down again
As paper balls hit her
She is breaking down there
When they pushed her in the locker
They tripped her and laughed
They hit her and laughed
Why don't they see?
It's killing her - this bullying!
She's turning into a rag doll
She is turning completely numb
She has wounds all over her
This feeling of helplessness,
In her throat made a lump
Its fun they say to see her cry
To escape from them
She always tries
It's a game to them
They look at her with amusement filled in their eyes
Why don't they see?
It's killing her - this bullying!
She takes a blade out
She cuts herself making deep wounds
There's no life in her eyes
As blood trickled down these wounds
For them it's just gossip
Why should they care?
For them she's just a victim,
Who to stand up against them would never Dare!
Why don't they see it still?
It has killed her - this bullying!
She hasn't arrived again
This happened twice in the same week
Their eyes search for their victim
Who is so weak that to them it's amusing?
They arrive at her home,
They know, nobody would be there
They reach up to her room to find her...
They find her...
For the first time they see her lifeless eyes
Her lifeless eyes staring far
Her wrist dripping blood
Pulls their squirming soul apart
Amused eyes turned dark
With fear, with guilt
Her eyes snapping into theirs
Makes them freeze, they stand there still
Now they see
It killed her - this bullying!
She fell on her bed
Hitching on her breath
They run to hold her
They have to save her
Now it's not amusing,
The way she whimpers
Now it's not amusing,
The way she shivers
They have realised
It almost completely killed her -This Bullying!
She's taken in the OPD
Her life had turned to hell, now they see
Their heart feels trapped, their chest's tight
Tears start filling their guilty eyes
It's not a joke, it kills
Now they realise
It's not a joke, not anymore - This Bullying!
They are allowed to meet the victim
She stares with weak eyes
Their soul feels the chill- like an ice
And her parents look at them with accusing eyes
It's because of them; they were breaking her from inside
Guilt is building up on their shoulder
So they go towards their victim, closer
She pulls back
She is scared
They held their head low as they say,
"We killed you from inside
We were so cold
We want to apologise
But it's of no use anymore"
She looked into their eyes
"I forgive you" she said
"Your mistake you realised,
My life you saved-
Stop this bullying, promise me
You'll never bully again just promise me"
