Bullying Poems
Stop Bullying Poems
Bullying has caused so much damage over the years. It has caused depression and even suicides. To bully is to show cowardice. A bully puts others down, usually with their words and actions, judging them. Sadly, this only reveals who the bully is: a person who puts others down to feel better about themselves. Bullying can destroy a person emotionally. It is foolish and dangerous. If you are a victim of bullying, don't keep it a secret. Get help. You deserve to know just how many people have been in your situation and are on your side of the battle.

1. All I Ask
I'm sorry I don't impress you,
Don't act the way you want.
I'm sorry I'm not pretty
And don't have much to flaunt.
I'm sorry you can't accept me
For the way I am inside.
I'm sorry that your cruel words
Make me run and hide.
I'm sorry I'm not in your clique
And that I don't fit in.
I'm sorry that being born, to you,
Was such an awful sin.
I'm sorry I'm so ordinary,
Not an extraordinaire.
Does that give you reason, though,
To stand and cast your glare?
I don't know what to tell you
To make you stop your games,
And I can't think of a way for you
To take back all those names.
Please answer me this question,
And please be honest, too.
What do you get from hurting me?
What does it do for you?
We may not understand each other
Or ever get along,
But I've never said one word to you,
Never done you wrong.
So do me just one favor,
Just one simple task.
Please stop being mean to me.
This is all I ask.Latest Shared StoryI was bullied in the 7th grade because people did not know how to deal with my opinion on what I thought of my now ex-best friend. Soon after that, they started to bully my sister because she...

2. Wounding Words
The Effects Of BullyingLiving in fear, day in and day out,
"Leave me alone," I just want to shout.
When you call me names like stupid and fool,
I don't understand, why are you so cruel?
My stomach hurts, my heart's beating fast,
'Cause nobody likes me; I'm always picked last.
The smile I once had on my face is now gone,
I'm all alone, never had anyone.
I can't wipe out the tears that I've cried,
I'm torn and broken, bleeding inside.
The wounds won't heal, scars won't go away,
I just cannot take this another day.
Nobody hears my voice when I scream
That things aren't always the way they seem.
A smile could conceal a very deep fear,
A thing that seems distant could be very near.
I'm sitting here alone in the rain,
Writing this poem and crying in pain.
They say words don't hurt, but I know that they do;
Please stop bullying me, I'm begging you.
After five long years of torment the bullying finally stopped.
It wasn't until then that my mood seriously dropped.
The memories haunted me, the words ringing in my ears,
And I became more and more afraid of my peers.
The pain consumed me, as I drowned in despair,
The feelings overwhelmed me; my heart felt beyond repair.
I couldn't take it anymore; I didn't know how to cope.
I didn't want to live; I had lost all hope.
To teachers and parents, I want to say this:
It's too late to save me,
but please save other kids. -
3. High School Soldier
Inspiring Poem About Defeating BulliesEvery day when you come through the doors,
You are entering the high school war,
Where you will be shot at with words that could kill.
They are thrown without any rightful skill.
There is the laughter of the rival,
Who is just downright cruel.
Their words cut deep down,
And you, the victim, will begin to drown.
Keep your head high.
There is no need to cry.
Just wear a smile;
It'll be worthwhile.
Kill them with kindness, even if it hurts.
Don't let them shove you into the dirt.
Wear the uniform with pride.
Don't let them make you dead inside.
You are above them all,
So hold your head up and stand tall.
They'll all fall with a little time,
Because people throw rocks at things that shine.
You are fine the way you are.
Those who say otherwise can get stuck in the tar.
Soon things will get better, and don't say they will not,
Because sooner or later those fools will get caught.
So the next time they hurt you, remember this saying.
Nothing lasts forever, so just keep praying.
Next time, be strong like a boulder.
Every teenager is a high school soldier.Latest Shared StoryI'm 10 and I was being bullied by two boys (I'm a girl). When that was happening, I felt worthless, like a piece of trash. The brown-haired boy said, "If you wanna see a joke, look in the...

4. False Identity
Poem About Creating A False Identity To Cover Up HurtSometimes
I wish that you could see
This scared girl inside of me.
I'm not really as I seem.
I'm not tough, strong, or mean.
That isn't me.
This isn't the real me.
I fight by day,
Yet cry at night.
No one can see through
My false identity.
I've been hurt,
As you can see,
So I created
A fake me.
No one ever tries
To get through my shield.
All I want to be is me.
How do I show
What I've kept hidden for years?
How do I show
All the silent fears?
What would you think
If I showed you me?
What would you say
Without my false identity?Latest Shared StoryWhen I first came into public school, I realized how cruel the world could be. This mask I've created is suffocating me! I can't breathe and the false life that I've created is holding me...

Watch Your WordsSee that girl,
The one with the smile?
Do you know she's been hurting for a while?

6. Closed Doors
Escape From Bullying PoemI cry myself to sleep at night
Just wishing it would stop.
Maybe tomorrow it will cease.
Then again, maybe not.
You push me and you poke me.
You call me hurtful names.
To me, it's like a prison.
To you, it's fun and games.
Your heart is made of ice,
But it doesn't even deserve that.
Mine was once a rainbow,
But you have moulded it to darkest black.
I hate you; I hate everyone.
There is no one I can trust.
Are you proud of what you've done?
You've turned my soul into dust.
I wish there were a door I could open,
A simple path I could tread.
I don't want to be stuck here forever
In this endless spiral of dread.Latest Shared StorySame here! This poem and description relates to me when I was bullied for being German. And maybe because I also suffered from rheumatiod arthrities on top of that. I had freinds in high...

7. The Forgotten Ones
A Voice For Those Bullied And AbandonedI am the voice of those afraid to speak,
Those of us society calls weak,
Those you ridicule every day,
The ones who have nothing to say.
We have feelings too, okay?
I am the voice of those alone,
The ones abandoned and on their own,
The ones who hide their pain in their eyes,
Those you never saw cry,
Those of us you just pass by.
I am the voice of those you forget,
The ones society regrets.
Though you see us, you don't care
Whether or not we are here,
And we, like shadows, slowly disappear...Latest Shared StoryI'm honored that you would use my work!!! I'm glad it was of some use :) I honestly haven't really written anything else after this...I kinda wrote this for a poetry project in my English...

8. I Am
School BullyI am like everyone else
I wonder why no one understands me
I hear the whispers
I hear 'em laugh
I can see the cruel jokes as I pass by
I pretend not to hear
I am like everyone else
I feel all alone
Will they ever see
I touch lives of everyone around me
I dream of happier times
I am like everyone else
I understand that people are different
I hope everyone else will see
I try to be the best I can be
I am like everyone else

9. The Girl
Picking Yourself Up AgainA letter to that girl
That girl who sat by herself
That girl who doubted herself
That girl who was bullied
She was let down
A letter to that girl
That girl who was used
That girl who was manipulated
That girl who was gaslighted
She was left in pieces
A letter to that girl:
You are beautiful
You are wonderful
You are you
Don't let anyone take that away from you
And I know this world can knock you so far down
Trust me, I do
But it's all about picking yourself back up
Fighting back
And showing just who you are
Look at you, so strong
You showed everyone who you are
And even in the darkest moments
You pulled through
And you became you
So this is a letter to that girl
That girl who was knocked down
But she learned to get up
Everything is easier said than done
But I know how it all feels
For this is a letter to that girl
And that girl is meLatest Shared StoryThis hit home to the T. I couldn't have said it better if I wrote it myself. To whoever wrote this, I feel for what you feel, and it gives me courage to go on. Thank you for sharing it to us...

10. Words Hurt
Overcoming BullyingYou should know, bullying hurts.
It starts with one word, one word you blurt.
Fat, ugly, worthless. These are the words they hear.
Did you know you're their biggest fear?
Day by day you torment them;
it takes so long for their hearts to mend.
All they ask for is one true friend,
but you make them want their lives to end.
Every day they wake up with regret;
all they want to do is forget.
It's not just hitting and punching; it's the words you say.
They hurt so much; they want to fade away.
This is when enough is enough;
they're sick of playing strong, sick of playing tough.
But they know they can make it through.
You may not have known, but they always knew.
They put on a fake smile and pretend they're okay;
they believe they can make it all the way.
Of course your words still offend,
but they have been pieced back together again.
Someone leaves the crowd and lends them a hand;
they learn that it's time to stand.
Their smile is no longer fake;
now they have no reason to ache.
You see, all they ever needed was a friend,
someone to stand by them when the bullying came again.
Now they are free.
The insults barely sting, don't you see?
The bully is never wanted, unless wanted to leave.
The person you bullied now has no need for long sleeves.
Your work here is done, not that it should have started.
Now who's the one who feels broken-hearted?
Bullying gave you power that they refused to give.
You can't help but wonder "what if?"
What if they didn't get so strong?
What if they were crumbled all along?
What you don't think of is what could have been.
What if they pulled the razor to their skin?
What if you pushed them too far,
to where they tied a rope around their collar.
What if they wrote down all the secrets they had to spill,
right before taking an overdose on the pills?
You don't know what could have been done;
you were doing it all for fun.
You think they're losers, but they're stronger than you.
Have you seen what they've been through?
With your words you gave a black eye.
They are leaving, Bully, so say your goodbye.
But one more thing before you go.
Did you enjoy my little show?
Remember, words can hurt more than the punch,
Believe me now? Cause this was just a hunch.Latest Shared StoryI've been bullied starting at the age of 5. Now I'm 27 years old, and bullying is still happening, but online. In my times, there was no "no-bullying" group in any of the schools I've...

11. Bullying
Poem About Being The New GirlThey point their fingers and laugh
As she makes her way down the hall.
She keeps her eyes on the floor
And tries to ignore them all.
She makes her way through the day,
Wishing for someone to understand.
She wants someone to talk to;
She needs someone to lend her a hand.
Each night she cries herself to sleep.
How could people be so cruel?
Everyone makes fun of her
Just because she's new at school.Latest Shared StoryIf she doesn't like you there is nothing anyone can do about that, but give her a reason not to hate you. If you're talking about fighting the people, don't. That gets you nowhere. If you are...

12. Childish
Poem For Those Who Get BulliedMy world is starting to die.
and I slowly start to cry.
People talking smack,
right behind my back.
The childish games they play
need to end this very day.
I don't think they realize,
the tears coming out my eyes.
I hate how they get to me,
and how they don't see
that my heart is bleeding,
and that my tears have meaning.
They mean I am hurt,
and I want them to stop talking dirt.
They mean that I can't take it,
and that there's stuff they just don't get.
There's more to me than they know.
I just don't let it show.
I hide the things inside.
But I wish I could speak my mind.
I wish they knew the real me.
Then they could leave me be.
I'm just so scared of rejection
that I can't even stand my own reflection.
People just don't understand,
I want to show who I really am.
There are so many things I need to say,
but even if I could, they won't give me the time of day
If only I could say it all.
Then I wouldn't easily fall.
They just don't comprehend.
That I could be a great friend.
I hate how they view me,
as small and weak.
Inside me I am learning to be tough,
I am able to fight through the rough.
I just wish that was who I could be,
on the outside that is, I mean.
My world would be so much easier,
if I could be a little happier.
Like I had said,
their childish games need to end.
and they need to realize
that there is truth beyond these eyes.Latest Shared StoryDon't listen to what they say and what they think of you. Work harder than them and show them you are stronger than them. Killing yourself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I...

13. Sticks And Stones
Standing Up For YourselfYour words, they cut like knives,
but they'll never bring me down.
You may push me in the deep end,
but I will never drown.
Your words, they burn like fire,
but I will not let them scar.
You cannot bring me down.
I've gotten way too far.
Your words push me and shove me down,
but I will always stand.
I will always do my best.
I will do everything I can.
So don't waste your time on me.
You will not see me cry.
You may have brought me down a bit,
but I will continue to fly
Your words may hurt like sticks and stones,
but I refuse to bleed.
I know you really hate me,
but this isn't what I need. -
14. In Support Of Those Kids Who Are Bullied
Before he crawled into his bed,
He prayed his soul to take.
Then curled up in the darkness,
And spent the night awake.
He dreaded the morning and all it would bring
But believed that it never could change.
For with the dawn of each new day,
That face in the mirror remained.
He longed to pull the covers up
And stay forever there.
And when the sun came creeping through,
He questioned if God even cared.
He grew weary from the struggle.
He longed to have one friend.
He wished they could accept him.
He just wanted to fit in.
But for him, school was a battlefield,
A place where he never felt safe.
And at times, he felt so much anger inside,
He worried how much more he could take.
He felt bruised and battered inside and out,
So he withdrew into himself.
He wanted to fight but didn't know how.
He wished that someone would help.
But he silently carried his hurt and his pain,
So ashamed that he acted so weak.
He tried not to cry and never complained.
He would take the abuse and retreat.
Sometimes he contemplated getting revenge.
Then some days he just wanted to hide.
Sometimes he thought he could kill everyone,
Then there were moments he wanted to die.
Every day he faced bullies, angry and mean.
They were always lurking out there.
They tried to destroy every ounce of esteem
And convinced him that nobody cared.
His life was a nightmare he had to endure,
And he wasn't alone in his pain.
He saw there were others who were different, like him,
And their torture and hurt was the same.
So is this the life that we wanted for them?
Should our children feel anger and fear?
And is this the legacy we'll leave behind,
Or should we save them while we are still here.
So instead of us arguing after the fact
And taking a stand that's too late,
We must teach them the value of kindness
And that differences should be embraced.
That the human spirit can be fragile and weak.
It can break in the blink of an eye.
And we must always respect others' dignity,
Or our humanity can't hope to survive.
The days of their youth remain in their hearts
And will color their future ahead.
So let's help them create a warm, welcome place,
Instead of a world filled with dread.Latest Shared StoryA wonderful write Patricia...

15. Isolated On Your Screen
Staying Strong During CyberbullyingWhen you feel you're in the dark,
There will always be a light.
There are people who are there for you
To tell you it's all right.
When you feel you're all alone,
Isolated on your screen,
You can find someone to help
'Cause not everyone is mean.
They can say just anything,
But that's not who you are.
You know yourself better than them,
So their words don't go far.
Be sure to keep your head up,
And don't hesitate to smile.
It will all get better
If you stay here for a while. -

Poem About How Anxiety FeelsChest tightens,
Gets hard to breathe.
My only escape
Is when I drug myself to sleep.
Constantly I wear a mask.

18. The Problem
Bullying And Having Enough Of ItHow much longer can I take,
Constantly trying not to break,
It goes on and on--day by day,
Another piece of me chiseled away.
Called names like ugly, strange and fat,
How am I meant to put up with that?
Why is this happening to me,
I ask you nicely--set me free!
My pillow is soaking with all my tears,
School always gives me fears.
The girls and boys scream and shout,
In this cage of worries--let me out.
I beg for all this hurt to stop.
I feel like I'm falling like a raindrop.
I don't think I can take much more,
0 to me 1 to you--that's the score.

19. What If?
Anti-Bullying PoemBullying hurts, don't you see?
You are nothing, but a big bully
Don't you think of what could have been?
What if they put a razor to their skin?
What if they wrote a note to say goodbye?
And their family and friends were left wondering..why?
What if at night, they cry themselves to sleep?
By morning, it's too hard to get up on their feet
They are afraid to come to school because of bullies like you
When they try to tell an adult, their plead is overruled
Soon they can't take it anymore
They think, "What do I have to live for?"
Finally all of their secrets start to spill
They grab the bottle and overdose on pills
All they ever wanted was a friend
And to hear the words, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again"
You did it all for the fun
You didn't know what could've been done
What if you pushed them a bit to far?
All your actions have caused one big scar
Haven't you seen what you put them through?
You think they're weak, but they're stronger than you
All they want to do is forget
They think, "how much worse can it get?"
Don't you know, you're their biggest fear?
They scream so loud, but no one can hear
What if it was you who got hurt everyday?
Tell me how many words you would have left to sayLatest Shared StoryThis poem is going to help me and some other people in the club that we are starting at my school the "bully repellent club".

20. Laughing
Lies And Shattered FriendshipsI hear them laughing.
They don't think I notice,
But I do.
Every word spilled from venomous lips
Attacks the fragile skin and seeps through like a stain.
Words are forever incised.
My heart lays shattered.
The worst is not the sting of words
But the friendly and inviting smiles they use against me,
Faking what I thought was real.
My mind plays tricks,
The mirror shies away.
The eyes I see refuse to meet me.
I'll leave them be.
A poor soul would take my place and be forever challenged
If I were no longer here.
They would find a helpless new victim.Latest Shared StoryI understand what it is like to feel this way. As I was growing up and started school I didn't realize how much hate and envy could be in the world. But now that I'm in high school, I let...
