Teachers Against Bullying February 2013 | Page 33

I See in Your Eyes

Mean, cruel, they rule the school

Red, vain, they're all the same

Day after day

The days grow longer,

The gossi[, the names, the crying, the pain...

I see in your eyes

There's no courage

In other words you're discouraged.

You need a friend,

A helping hand,

A shoulder to cry on,

Not on the ground with people laughing all around.

I will be your friend, that's what you need.

Don't give into it,

The bullies will feed.

They will laugh, judge, push and nudge...

But you will have me, that's all you need.
