Here are some poems some Tiwai East students wrote:
Day By Day - By Thomas Brocherie
Day by day,
They need a friend.
While you come,
And make their lives want to end.
It could be on the internet,
Or in the playground,
Calling them names,
Making them feel down.
Put yourself in their shoes,
Being called ugly every day.
Certainly,
I don't think you'd find that okay.
If you do,
Make a mistake.
I'm sure they'll let you have,
Another take.
Day by day
You'll be their friend.
No one will come
And make their lives want to end.
Words Are No Joke - By Isla
Day by day your treated like dirt
Because the truth really does quite hurt.
Words hurt if drowned fear but don't
Forget your friends are here.
Most days you try to stay but others
You want to fade away.
Punches are one thing words are another
They make you want to scream and stutter.
You've acted tough
But enough is enough.
All they need is one true friend
Before they want to reach their end.
Words Hurt - By Billie-Jo
Bullying is not okay,
But all the words they lay.
With all your words that overload,
Their heads might explode.
Words hit like knifes,
It changes lives.
All they want is to disappear,
And when the end is near.
Remember life isn't a movie
Don't end it,
It may feel like drowning in a pit.
But you are stronger than you think.
