Imagine

Imagine being lonely
In a place you seemed not free
Imagine being frightened
Of things you need not be

Imagine being tortured
By people you did not know
Imagine being cornered
With no where else to go

Imagine being followed
Right past the village hall
Imagine you could stop this-
A few words could stop it all

I told an adult all these things
I told her how I feel
The hurt is now all over
The bullies have made a deal.
