Every 7 seconds someone is being bullied

There is 86400 seconds every day

Today, 12342 people are being bullied

Yesterday, 12342 people were bullied

Tomorrow, another 12342 people will be bullied

These statistics only apply to the people who report it

There are still thousands of people who stay silent

I want to dedicate this to all those who have been bullied, and all those who are being bullied.

You have to keep going on

It’s okay to use your voice

You’re not a sissy if you cry

We are all born into this world crying, so why walk through it silent?

People are gonna kick you down

They’re gonna spit in your face

They’re gonna tell you that you ain’t worth it

They’ll tell you that in the end, you don’t matter

That you’ll never matter, ‘cos you can’t make a difference

But you gotta prove them wrong

Show them just how much you’re worth

Show them that, yes, yes you DO matter

And the difference?

You.

You are the difference

Go for the thing they told you you’d never do

Smile.

I want you to smile

And I want you to cry

You need to know that you’re allowed to feel

You don’t have to hide

You need to show them just how wrong they were

And when they see you

Standing tall

Holding the grass you snatched from the ground when they kicked you down

When they see you smiling, happy

I want you to know that you won

Because you felt something they never have

You felt rock bottom

But you got back up

You learned that yes.

Yes you could.

To the Bullies: If you think it’s ‘fun’ to make fun of other peoples flaws and imperfections, I would just like to remind you that you aren’t perfect. You have your flaws and down sides. I want you to know that for the rest of your lives you’re going to have to live with the guilt of what you’ve done.  Now you will know what it’s like to feel what your victims did. Feel the pain that you inflicted on them. I want you to be sorry. Really sorry. I want you to regret every word you said. I want you to know what it feels like to be the victim.  How many more lives are going to be taken before you realise that what you’re doing is wrong?  I do not hate you for what you did, I just hope and pray that you will realise that what you’re doing is wrong before it’s too late.

Gabrielle Marjorie Meyrick, I miss you so fucking much and I won’t stop fighting against bullying. Baby girl, I just wish I could’ve done more. But you’re in a better place now, no one can ever hurt you again. I’ll be with you again one day. Until then. Love, M.  xo
