The following poem was
submitted to our contest by a senior football player. He'll be leaving after this semester to attend Penn State on
a football scholarship. Congratulations
and thank you for your submission!
like
a bow and arrow you get pulled back and fight through all the resistance, but
it's only a matter of time before your shot forward and success is no longer
distant every single person has the chance to make a difference, and every boy
and girl has its purpose for their existence. But to be yourself is what our
generation is constantly missing, we idolize those living a life of fiction, an
era of unfair judgment, on stuff like what kids wear to school based off their
parent’s budget. Some people call them weird or not cool bc they are nervous. You can't base that decision
off someone that's just observant. Observant to young minds with grown people
intentions, truthfully every kid just wants to feel they can fit in. it's
different from the old days when bullies used to take your lunch money. Now they take self-esteem and laugh because
at that moment it was kinda funny.
Now a days bullies sit back behind a computer screen crushing your hopes
because they're afraid to dream. So the next time you wanna bully think twice.
Maybe 3 or 4 times you could be saving a life
