October is the month to stand up against bullying. It’s bullying awareness and prevention month.
Stand up, Speak out!
You might save a life.
No more!
–
Head held high
Pretending not to hear
The whisperings, hurtful words
Coming from people standing near
–
Standing up straight
Pretending not to feel
The bruises, abusive touching
This just can’t be real
–
Faking a smile
Pretending to be okay
I am fine, nothing is wrong
Behind broken eyes, hiding away
–
Keep my mouth shut
Pretending not to be
Worthless, unwanted
I wish I was free
–
Reliving each moment
Pretending it never happened
The pain, the hurt
That I’ve never been burdened
–
Fighting back now
Pretending no more
This is my life, this is my time
Those losers can’t hurt me anymore!

Indeed, needs to be on the forefront, not back burner. TY Patty for the reminder.)))))))) hugs
Indeed, bullying must be brought forward, not hidden in the shadows so that Bullies win simply by default of no action, no education and no compassion. Amen
Very true words my friend! 🙂

I was the victim of bullying when I was a kid. I won’t stand for it, whether it’s on me or anyone else.
Thank you for reblogging John.
We all need to stand together against this!

Patty, A great statement standing up to bullying plus that “tough ass” photo so well done, sweat & all!!!!!!! How did you do that except some workout to break a sweat OR Hollywood style sponge & water to the forehead & nose!!! Great words, great poem, GREAT MESSAGE!!! You continue to be a social crusader! Pihl
Thank you so much Phil! 🙂
Hahaha, I used the Hollywood approach because I almost never sweat during a workout.
And it’s an important message! We need to fight this!
