Uhmazin' Assembly

unmistakingly_alive12's picture

Class of 2009, 2010
you all have a choice
act up against the bullies
use your own voice

and when someone disagrees
maybe pushes you down
makes you feel stupid
like a silly circus clown

get back up
brush off the dirt
they're only words
no matter how badly they hurt

move on, keep going
push back the tears
keep your chin up
fight away the fears

of vulnerablitiy
the only thing holding you back
taking your mind off what's important
leading you off track

so stand up to that person
that pushes you around
show them your not afraid
you're going to stand your ground

class of 2009, 2010
you all have a choice
act up against the bullies in your school
take action, USE YOUR LOUD VOICE!
