Title: Today, Poem

Mar 31, 2009

Today I watched a girl get jumped
Today a boy got his lunch money taken
Today I was shoved into a locker
When will this end
When will bullies stop
Today
Today I will walk with my head high
Today I will report what I saw
Today will be the day for happiness
Today will be the day it stops
Today will be the day I ignore the names I am being called
Today will be the day I feel secure
When the only opinion that matters is mine
When will this happen?
Today
