As the local kids are heading back to school after the summer break this may resonate with some people.
BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!
why do they pick on me
call me bad names
day after day
Its always the same
Stick up for yourself
I'm in a hurry
give as good as you get
try not to worry
I want to be brave
But I'm not very big
And it really hurts
When they poke and they dig
My bruises don't show
I don't do PE
I have a weak heart
Its exclusion for me
I hide in my room
Curl up on the floor
There must be an answer
I can't take any more
It comes to me suddenly
All in a flash
I pick myself up
And make a quick dash
Down to the basement
Find the long rope
Relief flooding through me
At last I can cope
No one will miss me
Of that I am sure
My life will be over
Pain and sorrow no more
I feel happy at last
I'll be welcome in heaven
Its been a horrible life
And I'm only seven !
Sad poem
