You know the thing about bullying,
Is that it starts so subtle
Like they're just waiting for the war,
They're stepping out of their bubble
They insult, throw things,
But nothing out of hand
They know that if they're caught,
They won't be able to take a stand
They continue for days,
The snickers behind your back
When they think you're not looking,
They point at you and laugh
You forget they exist,
Ignore that they're there
Look out into the open,
As if they vanished in thin air
But the torment never stops;
It just keeps getting worse
All the same from the start,
But you eventually burst
Those laughs and snickers,
That seemed like nothing before
Start creeping under your skin,
And open hidden doors
You're finally vulnerable,
Their tactics pulled through
At first it was nothing,
But now that's not true
You know you're in a position,
Where there's nothing you can do
When you've asked for help,
But they continue it through
They double the insults,
Gossip goes around
They call you a snitch,
And in solitude you drown
But no matter what,
You try to stay strong
You stand your ground,
And prove them all wrong
But no matter how hard,
You truly try
The worst feeling is when,
They see you cry.
