an example of what school bullying can do
Walking down the hallway
avoiding all eyes yet feeling them watching
She quickens her pace as if to out-run the taunts and evil jeers.
each day she came home her eyes filling with tears.
"Momma I just can't do this four more years"
walking down the hallway, staring at her feet,
today only paper is thrown, what will tomarrow bring?
clenching her fists she walks on,
weeks go by, then months its all the same
soon she grew cold and bitter shutting out the world
walking down the hallway
being bounced from wall to wall while others laughed.
not daring to shed a tear she grit her teeth.
once again running home her eyes filled with tears,
she pleaded with her mother,
"Please don't make me go four more years"
broken-hearted but convinced it would stop, she sent her off.
Walking down the hallway, hateful names are tossed about.
each one hitting her like a ton of bricks. her eyes empty, heart cold as ice
she walked on.
Today she came home but there were no tears.
she didn't beg her mother not to go four more years
just asended the stairs
once in her bedroom a silent storm of rage took hold.
Moments later her mother appears finding scibbled on a napkin,
the words, "momma i just couldn't handle four more years"
