Bullying

Loud sounds filled the hallways of Shore.
The laughter of students echoed.
Some sounded small and dainty,
While others sounded like a lions roar.

Children creep out and about
Just to see what is so funny.
All they see when they walk near,
Is a child wiping away a tear.

Oh, what do you do when
People start to grow stares?
Do you run away and cry?
Or do you stand and hum a rhyme?

As you start to run away,
You hear the chanting of students.
They yell, Come back, come back!
All you respond is, Leave me alone.
So that is what they do,
Until another day.

Have you made the right choice?
Maybe you have not.
For now, though, you are happy
With your decision
And so are the other lot.
