"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." Harvey Fierstein
THE VICTIMS
Too many years wasted as a wallflower
Thinking I was insignificant
It is so important when you are young
To be a popular participant
A victim, was I of low self esteem
Made to think I was ugly and fat
That is what makes bullies feel better
Making others an easy target
Rebellion was mine back in those days
Frustration was what I often tasted
Being at the bottom made no sense
I am ashamed of the years I had wasted
I AM someone with a soul and a mind
I HAVE feelings and they can be shattered
To build their importance was their reason for my pain
To the bullies none of it mattered
I am the girl with embarrassing freckles
I am the boy with wild red hair
I am the child who eats lunch by myself
And I see not a one of you cares
