Voice of change



In the quiet corners of the school,
A silent  battle  rages.
Children's hearts are heavy,trapped in unseen cages.
Words can wound like weapons,
Leaving scars unseen.
In the halls where laughter should be,
Shadows intervene.

Bullying must end,this cycle of pain,
We must stand together,let kindness reign.
For every child deserves to feel safe and strong,
To walk these halls with pride,where they belong.

Raise your voice against the hate,
Let compassion lead,in every act of kindness,
plant a hopeful seed.
Together  we can build a world where every child can thrive,
We empathy and love are what keep dreams alive.

No more whisper in the dark,no more tears of fear,let's create a future where every voice is clear.
Bullying must stop,it's time to take a stand,
To build a school of unity,where we all lend a hand.
Bystanders  you have power,your silence speaks so loud,stand up,speak out,be brave, and make your actions proud.
For when we all unite as one,the bullies lose their might,
Together we can shine a beam,and bring the truth to light.
