Think Twice

Bullying should not be a way of life
You never know what that person is going through
You wouldn’t want it to happen do you too,
Would you?
So why would you do it to someone else?
Making their life a living hell
Because something in your life isn’t great
You might just cause them to take their own fate
And even if it wasn’t just you;
It was a group of your friends too,
Who said it cool and it was alright
Probably went home and slept all night
But that one kid that you choose to pick on
Stayed up all night long
Thinking about what you said in school
That day you thought you were just so cool
Went down to the kitchen and got a knife
And that is where he took his life.

During the next day at school, you see some police
One of your buddies comes running up to you
Crying and saying dude what did you put me upto?
You know that kid from yesterday?
The one we made fun of in the hallway?
He killed himself last night
They found him with a knife
Stabbed through his heart with a note by his side
Saying lord please help those who choose to hide
From those who pick on them and think they are cool
And to remind them this is only high school
That you will get through it and to stay strong
Because you really do belong
But for me myself I know I did belong

And I really tried to stay strong
I new I shouldn’t give into what they say
But I did it any ways
And I know I will regret it so very much
But you don’t understand I had enough
Tell my mother I’m sorry and I love her
That I will be okay now
There is no need to frown
For I am safe here
So don’t shed a tear
For God loves me and I will stay near

So as for you who choose to bully
I just ask you one thing please share my story
To the other kids around the school
Who think they are so damn cool
Now, your friend has come to you
To share what he knows
But really hes the one that chose
To tell the police that he wasn’t guilty
That it was you that said those filthy
Words to that child
Even though they were quite mild
It still made an impact on his life
So next time just think twice
There is no going back to change what has happened
But just remember this could have been prevented
