I wrote this poem a few months ago when I was going through a depressed stage. I was being badly bullied at school and it was upsetting me so much, but my mum is quite ill and I didn't want to worry her so I was trying to keep my unhappiness from her.

Also, a lot of my 'friends' were getting fed up with me always being upset so I was trying to act happy for them. Basically all the emotion was threatening to spill over, so I wrote my feelings down in a series of poems, this is just one of them.

TO THE BULLIES !

YOU SAID THINGS TO TRY AND HURT ME
AND GUESS WHAT IT WORKED
YOUR JUST PATHETIC & NEED TO GET A LIFE
YOU TRIED TO RUIN MINE & FOR AGES I THOUGHT YOU HAD
BUT IN TIME I REALISED THAT THERE'S NO NEED TO BE WORRIED
OF THE LIKES OF YOU !

ONLY 3 MORE YEARS I HAVE 2 PUT UP WITH YOU
AND IN TIME I WILL BE FREE OF YOU
AND THERE WILL BE DAYS
WHERE I DONT WANT 2 GO 2 SCHOOL
BUT ONE DAY I WILL REALISE THAT ITS NOT THAT LONG TO GO

AND YOU CAN PULL ME DOWN AND
YOU PROBABLY WILL HURT MY FEELINGS
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS ONLY
WORDS AND I CAN SAY WORDS TOO

NO MORE CRYING NO DENYING
THAT IM A FOOL
FOR BEING SCARED OF YOU

YOU MADE ME FEEL INTIMIDATED
TO SEE YOU OR BE NEAR YOU
BUT ITS NOT ME THAT SHOULD
BE RUNNING IT SHOULD BE YOU

LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF
YOU WILL FIND CONFIDENCE INSIDE
AND WHEN YOU FIND IT
NO-ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU
NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY TRY
STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF AND YOU WILL
FINALLY SEE THEY'RE NOT WORTH IT

AND ONE DAY THERE WILL BE NO MORE PAIN
NO MORE GAMES
NO MORE OF THEM MESSING WITH YOUR MIND!

ITS TIME TO BREAK FREE!

AND ONE THING THEY CAN NEVER GET THE BETTER OF IS MY....

DREAMS INSIDE!

(BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND ONE DAY YOU WILL SUCCEED DON'T LET THE BULLIES GET THE BETTER OF YOU )

SPEAK OUT I WAS AFRAID AT FIRST BUT IT WORKED OUT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT!
