Slam Poetry

Bullying

I hang my head as I walk by

I hear the names, I wanna cry

I just wish you would let me be

The pain you cause, you can not see

I talk to mum, I talk to dad

About the reasons why i’m sad

They can never understand it fully

The pain inside from being bullied

I won't give up, without a fight

I know what's wrong, and I know what's right

I don't want to ask you twice

Why don't you just please be nice

If you're causing too much drama

Life will get you with its karma

One day when your old and gray
You’ll look back upon that day

You called me names and made me blue

Made me cry so shame on you

Ill stay strong hold my head up high

Just like a bird

Watch me fly!
My class has been writing slam poems for the last couple of days. We chose something that makes us feel emotionally strongly and personal to us that comes from our heart, and I chose bullying. Some of us had presented and it was hard for alot of us (including me).

    My name is Miko and I am a year 8 student at Karoro School.

    I think that this is a really strong and emotional poem. Bullying is a big problem in New Zealand and I think that this is a good way to spread awareness. I have never been bullied but I have friends who have and it was hard for them.

    He pai tetahi
    Yours sincerely Miko
