Hello,
My name is unimportant
For you can not see
Just what those children around you
Do to people like me.
There are the beasts who bully,
Who punch,
And who kick,
And who break our bones
With anything the can find and use
From their arms and legs to random sticks and stones.
But then there are the demons
The meanest of the beasts of bullies
Those who gang up on you
And tear you down
These demons multiply
And gain the help of the ones
You think are your friends.
As well as the ones
Who know better than to follow the crowd
But the fear of the demons
Keep them from doing what is right.
Children like I can not turn to adults.
The adults are blind
They can not see
They're just as blind as they are deaf
To the silent cries for help
From the children like me.
It was never my hand that grabbed the gun.
I never was the one who loaded the gun.
It was never I who had taken hold of the belt.
I never was the one to take the knife.
I never took the rope
Nor did I make the knot
and hang the rope over a rafter.
I am the child who pulled the trigger.
I am the one who choked myself in my living room.
I am the boy in the bathroom at school
Who ran the knife across my wrists
And drew blood that would forever stain the school's floors.
I am the girl who was lied to over the Internet and
Who hung herself in her closet with a belt
And lost my life as my parents tried to save it.
But they, like so many others, were too late.
Just like Actors and Actresses,
We didn't set the stage.
Only committed the scene.
But the worst part of it is
Not the in the audience who laugh and who point
But those who sit back and do nothing
When they could've done something
To make things right.
Hello,
Our names have no meaning.
They have no importance.
Unless you can finally see
Just what children do
To the social outcasts like me.
But your eyes are swollen.
You cannot see.
We must be stupid.
We must be mad.
Why else would society
Treat us so bad?
We're the nightmares, the disasters
At least that's what they always say
We're a lost cause, not heroes
But maybe we'll make it on our own
We might prove then wrong
But it's still us against the world.
The hurt and the pain
Again and Again.
Oh lord, Have mercy!
Oh please let it come to an end!
While you go out through the door,
Do you see our souls
Sprawled motionless on the floor?
There is nothing sadder than a child
Who has barely seen the world
And yet knows enough about it
To know it is not what they wish to be apart of.
So with this we leave you.
Our letter of our sorrow.
Please if you would
Pass this around.
We'd be happy if you could
Don't smash this on the ground
Please, just pass it along.
If you pass this on,
Maybe people will cry
Just keep this within the heart
For the people that didn't get a chance to say "goodbye"
Hello,
You need not know our names
Just our stories on how we were bullied
And found only one way to escape.
Escape society,
Escape the pain,
Year after year,
It happens again.
Please,
Make our names have some sort of meaning,
Have some sort of importance.
Please help others see
Just what bullying does
So no one else will end up like the ones like me.
Please do not think
That this is just an unfortunate normal part
Of society grouping.
Just what is normal about
Hanging oneself from the rafters?
Or cutting one's wrist?
Or lodging a bullet into one's brain?
Or using a belt to die while your parents try to save you?
Please, help stop bullying in all its forms

- Title: Result and Reality of Bullying
- Artist: MinteaPierrot
- Description: Please do not say this is too long and/or emo. This is a serious matter that no one really talks about. Too many kids and teens are bullied now a days for no reason and it gravely damages them in personality and mental/physical health. It is a subject I feel needs to be spoken and thought of more.

- Our age group is pretty vicious socially. I doubt many people who are the bullies would really mind this much, but anyway it was well written.
