In a school's halls, a scene unfolds,
Where one seeks power, another control's holds.
A bully roams, with words that sting,
A child alone is suffering.
The bully's voice, a sharp refrain,
Throws taunts and insults like relentless rain.
In playgrounds, classrooms, and hallways too,
The victim bears this pain, not knowing what to do.
Through tears and fears, they face each day,
The joy of learning fades and withers away.
Self-doubt shadows their once bright smile,
As they question their worth all the while.
But in this tale of darkness and despair,
A glimmer of hope begins to appear.
Friendships offer support, a hand to hold,
Encouraging the victim to be bold.
With whispered words, they rally near,
Fighting back with strength, casting out fear.
Together they stand, a formidable wall,
Protecting their friend, breaking the bully's thrall.
Teachers and counselors lend their ear,
A caring community's voices they hear.
They listen to the victim's plight,
Guiding hearts towards what is right.
Programs emerge to raise awareness,
Building empathy and spreading kindness.
Bullying is confronted, its grip released,
Empowering the victim, their spirit increased.
So let's stand together, united and strong,
No room for bullies in our midst belongs.
With compassion and resolve, we make our plea,
For every child deserves a chance to be free.
