The Bullys Question

Sticks n stones will break my bones

but names will never hurt me.

How many times has this been sung

with no meaning behind the rhyme?

My heart is torn, I cry inside

each and every time.

I've come to realise a thing or two

about the bully's in every school

They are mostly more sad than i

so MAYBE, next time, i wont cry.

But although the names

they're now all gone

There's left behind a void

as with my emotions raw and sore

have been brutally toyed

so with a confidence that's fake, i smile.

I pretend that life is fine

I walk along with head held high

but crying all the same.

Ill smile and laugh along with you

you will probably never know

The damage that was already done

all those years ago.

After all this time i ask

can you still sleep at nights?

or do you lay regretting

the teasing and the fights?

are you sorry for the hurt?

Sorry for the shame?

and what do you teach your kids now?

are they just the same?

do you teach them not to hit

do you teach them not to call?

or do you pretend its all ok

and don't do anything at all?
