People laugh

The boy runs through the hall trying to get away

Away from all the hurtful words flying his way

How, how could people be so cruel?

Every day the same scene

The world is stuck on replay

Replay of the same terrible high school day

But I have it better off than Him

He runs through the halls

Is shoved into lockers

Eats all alone

While people laugh

Laugh at the things they don't understand

Because they have to get the upper hand

Every day the same story unravels

And every day I don't step in

I think the thoughts every other outsider thinks

I'm only one person, how could I possibly help Him?

There's only four more years for Him in this place

But one day I thought, why?

Why should I let Him go through this?

Because I'm scared?

Scared they will turn their wrath on me?

Because I'm only one person?

I may only be one person but I have a voice

A voice that may not be able to change this world

But I can try

I walk into the school and see Him heading my way

Running through the hall trying to get away

Away from all the hurtful words flying his way

But this time it wasn't the same scene

Because I tried

I stepped in and said, Hey

Stop being so mean to him

The crowd stared at me

And He stopped running and looked at me

Smiled at me and mouthed thank you

I may only be one person but I started a movement

Others started thinking

Others started speaking out

You may only be one person

But He needs someone

And if you aren't there for Him

Who will be?
