Hidden

The girl in the corner who is slitting her wrists because of you.
Hidden
To joining the island of misfit toys because it's closer to home than she'll ever get.
Maya Angelou
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Hidden
Did you know half of the suicides among adolescents are related to bullying?
You see that girl and you judge her
The girl of the forgotten and misunderstood
She is attacked by herds of screaming banshees masked by her insecurities
She hides her face at every turn not knowing where to go
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
The one over there sees
Sees past the screaming banshees and sees the girl
The girl who is slowly dying inside too scared of what's to come
Hidden
There's the bi-stander
The bully
And the victim
The bi-stander stands idly by letting this so called "ruler" take over our lives and make us feel like the abuser
This is the society we live in
A society full of bi-standers
Bi-standers who let this ruler come into our lives and take hold of what's inside
These bi-standers stand aside without a care in the world
Well fine
You know what
Stand aside
Let us take care of all your bullshit when you can't even admit
Admit to what you know is happening and instead you push it all on that poor girl
The girl of the forgotten and misunderstood
The girl who lives on the island of misfit toys not knowing where to turn to
Even without your help
That girl is strong enough to hide all of the pain away
She
Stays
