Dedicated to my Girl: Gabrielle Marjorie Meyrick, I miss you every day
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
