To The Bullies

To All You Bullies Out There!

What a difference it would have made

When I went to school today

If instead of teasing and taunting me

The cool kids just said “G’day”.

 

What a difference it would have made

When I was trying to concentrate in woodwork,

If the kid that always steels my bag

Just stopped playing the clown and being a jerk

 

What a difference it would have made

When in English I was asked to read out loud,

If the bully just stopped and listened

Instead of heckling at me as if he was proud.

 

What a difference it would have made

When I was trying to listen in class,

If the kid that pushes me everyday

Just shut up and stopped being an arse.

 

I wonder what I may have learned

If going to school wasn’t so scary,

The names I’m called, the kids that tease

Your fat, your gay, you’re a ferry.

 

I wonder what it might be like

If going to school was fun,

And I wonder what the walk home would be like

If I didn’t have to run.

 

So maybe I’m a little different

And if you don’t mind just the same,

I’d like to actually learn at school

Instead of playing these silly games.

 

Just because my clothes aren’t as new as yours

That doesn’t mean I’m bad,

And just because you pushed me over today

That shouldn’t make you glad.

 

If you need to pick on others

To make your friends like you and think that your tuff,

Just wait until you hit the real world boy

Where being tuff just aint enough.

 

So let me learn

And please let me play,

And when you see me in the corridor

Have something positive to say.

 

Or just shut your mouth

Don’t taunt me with your words,

“Big fight after school”

Haven’t you heard?

 

Because I’m not a fighter

And nor do I want to be,

I am full of love and happiness

When I’m allowed to just be me!
