Standing Tall.

I shall not be crushed

I shall not be hurt

for I do not want to be treated like dirt.

 

I will not worry

I will not cry

I will not think about the time I die.

 

For I was put on this world

to live the human race

so I try hard to deal with the problems I may face.

 

I will not let you use me

or push me to the floor

I will just get back up and keep fighting some more

 

I wont wake up feeling sad

I wont go to school feeling sick

I wont let you treat me like some dumbass prick.

 

 

For I want to live my life

and carry on staying strong

you cannot blame me or say that I am wrong.

 

 

I will stay okay

I will stay just fine

I will not hear you wine.

 

 

I am not going to give in

I am not going to loose

I am not going to be the one in the victims shoes.

 

 

I Cannot let you win

the battle is not over yet

this will be something you wont forget.

 

You will not break me

you will not make me fall

I will beat you bullies and stay standing tall.

    thats right girl u show those bullies ur not afraid. I wish I could stand up to bullies like u can and not be afraid of what they will do to u. I will think about this poem all my life and try to stand up to them because I am kinda sick and tired of them pushing me around like I have no feelings, it just makes me mad when I can't do anything to prevent them from picking on me.

    It took me almost ten years beforeI had the courage to stand up against a bully.
    My reward was a 5 day vacation from school

    Sounds like teenage years. We all go through these feelings at some point, and it is good that you took the time to write down your reactions. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

    I really like this poem because I can relate to it. I've had lots of bullies picking on me. If I could do what this poem says then maybe I wouldn't be such a push over. I am too nice of a person. I could never stand up for myself. well thanks for putting this poem on display.

    I enjoyed it how it speaks of life and the certain walls and doors you must face. To decide is your choice and to take the steps to show your are worthy is huge. One can walk miles and miles and be where they started but one could write pages and pages and would have wrote their life.


    Great Write!!!

    I hear you

    Do you know that those who teat people this way when they get out of school and out into the world all of it comes crashing back down on them for they try to use the same tactics on people in the world and workplace and in doing so more often becomes the ones being bullied . You keep up with your school work and excell above them .And one day those bullies may find themselves asking you for a job .For you will have the skills to do what you want to do in life while they fritteed their life away destroying others along their path . You keep strong and keep your head high honey .

    Yes you WILL stay standing tall! And if you don't I will hold you up!
    This had really great rhyme, and I loved how you made every stanza three lines. It's a nice change.
    Good job standing up to those bullies - it really proves you are a very strong girl.
