Hello Beloved,
This past week a young girl took her own life.. Now before you go and judge her maybe you need to STOP and think first.. This young girl was being bullied. Now it maybe that you have never been bullied or maybe you are the bully. At any rate being a bully is just plain not right.
I sat down just after I heard about this young girl and this is what came out... May not make any sense to anyone but it did to me when I wrote it out. Enough said.
Who am I?
Who am I that anyone would want to be around?
Who am I that you would want to talk with?
Who am I that you would say hi to?
Who am I that you would want to be friends with?
Who AM I?
I am that girl who stands by herself at the door in school.
I am the girl that everyone pushes her chair away from her desk.
I am the girl who sits by herself at lunch.
I am the girl who is always picked last in gym class.
I am the girl who gets laughed at in class because I forgot the answer to the teacher's question.
I am the girl who is to skinny and my clothes don't fit well.
I am the girl who is overweight and has pimples on my forehead.
I am the girl who is wearing funky glasses to hid behind.
I am the girl who stutters when I try to talk.
I am the girl who is so lonely.
I am the girl with no friends.
I am the girl that wishes just one person would talk to me and get to know me.
I am the girl who wishes she was not so scared to ask you to be my friend.
I am the girl who is so timid and shy.
I am the girl who stands here and cries and no one hears.
Who Am I?
I am someone who is just looking for a friend to accept me as I am.
WHO are YOU? Will you be my friend?
Being the odd one out is no fun... We all need a friend to make it in this world... Teach your young ones what it is like for the one who is hurting.... Tell them that words DO hurt and they never leave. Being different is not a bad thing... being a bully is.. Teach your children , it starts with you in the home.... teach them to be kind to everyone. Someday that kid you have bullied just may be the one who has to save your life someday,.. Maybe as a doctor, lawyer, policeman, or fireman or maybe even your boss.. Treat everyone that way you want to be treated, with love and kindness.
In the love of Christ Jesus.. vickie
