The Aftermath
She came home from school,
15 years of age.
Studying her textbooks,
from first to last page
Hours had passed since,
Day turned to night.
She climbed into bed,
With that horrifying fright
That the kids at her bus stop,
the very next day.
Would push her and tease her,
in every single way.
She didn’t have any friends,
no one by her side.
She asked herself a question
“why me Lord, oh why?’
That very night,
right before bed.
Tucked in her sister,
kissed her forehead.
When her parents went to bed,
half past nine.
She cursed God, crying to him,
“why me, why?’
Now 11:15,
not a cricket did talk.
So she put on her shoes,
and went for her last walk.
Half way done with her walk,
she heard a soft bell.
She had just passed her school,
her now earthly hell.
She started to cry,
screamed “Why me, oh why?”
And that’s when she knew,
she wanted to die.
So she got some rope,
she tied it to the monkey bars.
Tied it to her neck,,
take a final gaze at the stars.
She had a small slip,
and down she fell.
She now hung there,
right outside her living hell.
Stop the abuse,
it’s worse than you think.
Kids can end lives,
before you can blink.
So I have just one question,
before I say a word more.
What in the world,
are you waiting for?
These kids are bullied,
confidence dropping like a fly.
And this is the reason,
why they want to die!
Stand up for the bullied,
fight the good fight!
For you conscience knows best,
and your conscience knows right.
So don’t go with the flow,
start a new day.
If you do it’ll happen,
you’ll bave the way..
For monkey see monkey do,
and if it is you,
doing this do,
other will follow!
Doing it, too.
Don’t tolerate bullying,
eliminate it!
