They push you, shove you, what do you care?
Your pitiful life goes on, who says life is fair?
The days drag out, unvarying, always the same,
But never showing the truth is your claim to fame.
Keep moving forward, don't you ever look back,
You're in control of how you act.
You get kicked, get hurt, who has to know?
Just ignore the problem and away it'll go.
But wait, it looks as if your problems are still there,
And there are people with the same problem everywhere.
All with the same masks disguising what's real,
Covering up the hate and pain that they feel.
Try talking to them, hey, y'all can relate.
Talk about your fear, sorrow, and hate.
Maybe it'll release that burden you bear,
Then again, who says that life is fair?

Brilliant!
This poem is so clear, so simplistic, that's what makes it so brilliant! You hit the target-subject right on. I envy your lovely writing skills! -
Good take on the point of view of the bullied. Ignoring the problem does not make it go away. The target needs to seek help and assurance.
