Everyday It Happens by Kathleen Kiker
Every time I speak, another person hates me,
Every time they answer, I must forgive again.
Every time I listen, I suppress my angry comments,
Every time I hear them, I brush away the tears.
Everywhere I go, I am a nameless victim,
Everywhere I hide, they find me once again.
Every time they see me, I put a happy face on,
Every time they leave me, the tears roll down my cheeks.
Every night I'm sleeping, I dream of faceless horrors,
Every day I'm living, I wish it were not so.

Bullying is an issue that happens everywhere in the world. No matter where you live, where you go to school or how popular you might be you have witnessed, caused or been the victim of aggression from your peers.
