Room 10 Poetry
I am Gideon the Bully
I wonder why there aren't many other people like me
I hear others talk to teachers about my actions
I see people backstab me and leave me on my own
I want to be nice but my actions come from my own pain
I am the Bully
I pretend to be tough even though I'm not
I feel hurt because I was bullied and teased
I touch
I worry that my secrets will be found out
I cry myself to sleep because I'm hurt inside
I am the Bully
I understand I’m hated
I say horrible things to people that I don't mean
I dream to have a friend and to not be in trouble
I try to help (myself) but I have to take it out on other people
I hope I can stop soon
I am Gideon the Bully

I am Thomas, the bullied
I wonder if the bullying will ever stop
I hear their friends laugh
I see the teachers watching but not doing anything
I want to know when this will stop
I am the bullied
I pretend everything’s alright
I feel the pain from every name and hit
I touch the bruises and cuts
I worry that this is happening to others, but worse
I cry when I see them coming
I am the bullied
I understand that they have major hatred issues
I say that I wish they didn’t exist
I dream that would just stop and leave me alone
I try to just walk away, but they follow me
I hope that they will just leave me alone
I am the bullied.

I am Kasaea the Brave
I wonder what the bully feels
I hear crying and yelling
I see bad actions that the bully uses
I want the bullies to stop
I am Brave
I pretend that I am strong enough to speak up
I feel the bully push me
I touch my heart and it tells me to do the right thing
I worry that something bad could happen
I cry out to a adult
I am Brave
I understand that whatever is wrong
Needs to be undone
I say “go away, stop”
I dream that it will all stop and people can
All have a good life
I try to act fine when the bully touches me
I hope that they stop and go away
I am Kasaea the Brave
