Stronger Than Their Words

In hallways and playgrounds, where laughter should ring,
There lurks a dark shadow, a hurtful thing.
Words sharp as daggers, fists clenched in might,
Bullies who prey on those they think can’t fight.

But listen, dear targets of their cruel game,
You’re not alone, and you’re not to blame.
Your worth isn’t measured by their taunts or jeers,
Your strength lies within, beyond their fears.

To those who stand by, who watch and don’t act,
Your silence empowers, that’s simply a fact.
Speak up, reach out, be a friend to the weak,
For in unity and kindness, true power we seek.

Bullies, take heed, your actions leave scars,
That echo through lives, near and far.
The pain you inflict, the fear that you spread,
Reflects not our weakness, but the path you’ve misled.

Schools, teachers, parents, we all have a role,
In nurturing compassion, making kindness our goal.
Create safe spaces, teach empathy’s art,
For a world without bullying starts in the heart.

To every brave soul who’s weathered this storm,
Who’s faced down the bullies and refused to conform,
Your courage inspires, your resilience shines bright,
You’re the heroes we need in this ongoing fight.

So let’s stand together, hand in hand,
Against bullying’s tide, we’ll make our stand.
With love as our weapon, and unity our shield,
A kinder world is the future we’ll yield.

Remember, dear friends, in the face of their spite,
You’re stronger than their words, more precious than light.
Your value’s not dictated by their cruel measure,
You’re unique, you’re worthy, you’re a priceless treasure.
