Anti-Bulllying Blog Week(Day 6): Words are my Weapon

I want to begin this post by saying an over-whelming thank you to everyone who posted about their own experiences of bullying yesterday! I spent a lot of the night sobbing...but, also got a tweet from Andy Robb saying that his Guest Post has found it's way onto a school display wall in Guernsey. Along with my blog being a QR Code there, which means teenagers who are being bullied can find my posts!

 

The School display...decorate with coke bottles to match the
growing fan-base for the Coke-Bottle Theory!

 

  

This was a poem I wrote about Anti-Bullying, that came joint-second in a Poetry Competition that was held by author Siobhan Curham!

I let out a breath.

I take my final bow.

I wait for the applause.

I know it’s the end of this show.

 

I catch your eye.

I see you divert your gaze.

I am the one,

I won this race.

 

I was once the dartboard,

I was where you would strike,

I now hold the dart,

I would never let it fly.

 

I am fire, alive

I am uncontrollable

I am flickering flames,

I am the one that fights.

 

I smile,

I walk away,

I take a glance back,

I see you gaze.

 

I remember all of those comments,

I am reminded of what you used to say,

I remember the endless jokes.

I realise I always had a reply.

 

I held it in,

I did, until today,

I made sure you heard it,

I destroyed your parade.

 

I now walk through the corridor,

I hold my head high,

I use words as a weapon,

But only when I write.

I hope you liked it! I also want to say congratulations to Hawwa who came joint-second with me and Amber who actually won!
