The Bullies

the bullies, 

In the corner of my classroom, all lonely and confused, 

Taking in the taunts, the bullies seem amused, 

Not able to understand, as I fight back the tears in despair, 

What did I do wrong, life is just not fair. 

Looking at my teacher, an empty voice, as her name I try to yell, 

is it because im good at school, the big words I can spell, 

They don't know my secret, 'cause it's stored in my brain, 

All those hurtful comments are driving me insane. 

As three o'clock comes, I dread the walk home, 

For fear of the bullies, when I'm all alone, 

Around the corner they get me, kicking me in the head 'till it's like a 

burst tyre, 

The warmth in my heart is now cold, my body hurting, they've quinced my fire. 

At six o clock, I say to mum, I'm going out to climb a tree, 

As I give her the last kiss, known my death is soon to be, 

Standing there smiling getting ready to bail, 

Wind whispering in my ear, edging me along the trail. 

I'm sorry mum you'll never see me, make my confirmation, 

Tears dripping from my dead like eyes, heart beats with palpitations, 

Please don't cry mum for the hurt that I have caused, 

Just look at the bullies and stand there in applause. 

For one day, they will be men whom their children will need, 

And everyday while nurturing them, their guilty hearts will bleed, 

Because the emptiness in their souls, and dampness in their hearts, 

Known the antics they've caused, have torn families apart. 

I'm all calm now as I start to climb the tree, 

The bullying is near over, I know my destiny, 

I've forgiven all of you, for determining my faith, 

I did'nt want to be gay, it's easier being straight, 

How you found my secret out, that I'll never know, 

I'm standing on the edge of the branch looking down below. 

With the rope around my neck I'm ready to go, 

As im falling in mid air, time seems to go so slow, 

As the rope tightens, and I let out a grasp and yelp, 

I regret what I've done now, thinking all the others that I could of helped.
