Bullied little girl in the photograph

Bullied little girl in the photograph

Hanging on the wall

You have fought some battles

Although you're very small.

You have lost some fights

But you have won some, too.

I remember being bullied

When I was small like you.

When others push and terrify

Or cyber-bully you,

Just stay strong and tell someone.

It's the first thing you should do.

A bully or someone who hurts

Is feeling scared inside

And hopes to feel much better

Stealing someone else's pride.

If you tell someone that you can trust

What you've been going through,

It might not save just only you--

It might save the bully, too.
