When I was young I was Bullied

By Author Lynda Ferrer

 When I was young

I was the smallest in my class

Living in public projects

Wasn’t an exciting blast

People called me names

Made me feel a shame

Being little was my defect

Was no playing game

I was bullied in the courtyards

Bully at school

Bully in my yard

Like a fool

Deep inside I felt very hurt

When they made fun of me

Wishing to be tall

So I could revenge and beat

I learned to be brave

Living those hard days

Where there wasn’t much love

For little people not saved.

God gave me the power

To ignore and defend

When people would affect me

Until the very end

What I really learned

Is an important gain

Better education in this aspect

is a need in society for respect
