Not To Say

were
were • 87 followers

There are things in this world
Meant not to say
But to be seen and not heard
In their own quiet way

If said, it's regretted
For feelings get stung
And then
There are hands to be wrung

Because
When they ask
Why you've put up your shields
You hide behind your mask

Bullying bites
Even when it's gone
Because hurting comes fast
And the healing takes long

So wish
On a shooting star
That when its done
You don't have a scar

And know you are lucky
Because many are scarred
And many
Are marred

Think of them
Often
Lest they be
Forgotten

You know
It's not right
Don't ask about scars
Or their lips will get tight

Speak up
For the ones with no voice
You can do it
You have the choice

Don't be the onlooker
The one who
Just watches
It isn't you

So find
What's been took
Or at least
Help them look

Their dignity
Is priceless
Don't let it wash away
During this horrible test

Give the
Best
And expect
Far less

For a little pride
Is good
But it's bad
To have more than you should

So never
Forget all the ones that we lost
And please try to help
Our wonderful cause

I Will Rise Again

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Glad I Still Breathe?

You ruined my life, Left me in the gutter. I thought I was worthless, A nuisance, like butter. But then there was another, And you tormented her soul.

I'll Be Heard.

I won't go down so quiet, I'll scream and sing and shout, Let the world hear all my words, Just let me yell them out.

Shut Your Mouth, Then.

If you can't speak nicely, Don't speak at all. If you don't get 'equals', Just keep your voice small. If your smile's a smirk, Then keep your face straight.

@were what's the moral? Like the reader should leave with? It's hard to grasp with the rhyming, the rhyming is good though

@were well the moral as such is to about speaking up against bullying isn't it? About learning to stand up and speak instead of suffering in silence? 👍 Great piece btw

@Janney11 what @leelee101 said.. There are many people with little or no voice, for many reasons and in many ways. Many factors come into play that decides who is lucky enough to escape bullying in all its guises without a life or confidence that is marred. Each of us, whether strong or not should stand up for and with someone we see suffering

@leelee101 @Burrfoot you both missed a tiny point, although it wasn't very pronounced. If someone is being bullied, speak up, but don't pressure them to tell you what happened, because its painful at first. Just let them tell you when they're ready.
