#NoMoreBullying poem/lyrics

Stop answering the negative criticism, of the ones telling you that you're nothing, that you have no vision for what's coming.


Ignore that hurtful statement telling you you're overweight, stupid, ugly, or any other demeaning words. You've got to love yourself first, before you can learn to not listen, when someone says you are this, or when they lie on you, saying things that aren't true.


This is the time to stand up, and be proud of who you are. Even if no one else isn't taking up for you. Just believe you can go far, and you will. You've heard that saying: "Hope is hard to kill."


Well, it is. But first, you must acquire it, as well patience to wait for what's good. These things won't be handed to you, so don't expect it. Put your mind on the right path, find a way to direct it.


Don't do something because everyone thinks you should. Do what you think is right, and never stop the fight, against the ones who would harm you or your friends.


Don't stand back and pretend, that the bullying isn't happening. Stand up and defend, those who are being emotionally, verbally, or physically harmed.


Do your very best to disarm, the ones who think they have the power, using hateful words by every minute and every hour.


In truth, they have no self-respect, so display your words, and do your best to avoid conflict. You say you have to defend your rep, by hitting back. That makes you like them.


Go tell an adult, and stop the violence. School is a place to learn, not one to lament. There's so many deaths at these places of study.


Stand up and stop hating. Instead, be kind to somebody. Help avert those dangerous situations. Don't be responsible for destructions. Make some unique creations.


If you're blessed, bless another. If not, I bless and pray for you, each brother and sister in Christ. Your life is valuable, and you can achieve great things. Face tomorrow, no matter what it does or doesn't bring.


Say out loud, until everyone is listening, that we won't stop until there's #NoMoreBullying
