I Dare You to Listen
I dare you to listen
 To take a moment 
 From your busy lives
 
 And think about these words 
 
 It is sad, 
 Sad that bullying has become a fad
 Whether you are the bully or bullied
 It should not happen in the first place
 
 Today, when you walk through these hallways
 And outside this school
 Stop. 
 And think about how nice the world would be 
 If we all simply loved one another
 I’m sure you can all agree  
 
 This is not a non-existent fantasy,
 You just have to halt, 
 And stop blaming your own faults 
 Then we can be happy 
 
 I am but one of the many voices
 Who echo this message
 That we have choices 
 
 The choice to stop targeting others,
 When you’re only hurting yourself
 
 The choice to help another, 
 By standing up or lending a helping hand 
 
 In truth,
 This is all you need. 
 
 To make a choice,
 and let love succeed.
