Will Not

After hearing all the bullying and all the poor souls that have been lost because of whatever they went through i decided to put thoughts to paper

I took the gun out of the drawer

Stared at the barrel and wondered

...

I took the lock and used it 

I placed it back in the drawer

Nothing was more freighting 

Then the thought of using the gun 

Nervous I wondered back downstairs

And hid under the covers again 

Feeling of insecurity 

Doubt feeding on my brain  

I took a good look in the mirror 

And I chose to be here 

Then in a shallow grave somewhere

So here is my stance 

I will not give into your name calling 

I will not think less of me 

I will not turn and cry 

Cause you have this negative thought 

Or something up your a*s 

To think that by bulling me 

I will break down and give up

Your words are hurtful 

But I have a higher respect 

For my life and it’s worth 

So go on call me a f*g 

Call me a weirdo 

or whatever you prefer 

I’m worth more alive 

Then to give in to your lies

[just rose.]

Very timely and poignant - hard to imagine what these kids go through. This ends on a note of hope and tolerance.
