The poem tells the story of a person who was bullied by a friend for about a year through hurtful messages and physical pushing. They became depressed and had thoughts of suicide. One day while riding their bike, someone or something stopped them from jumping off a mountain in an attempt to take their own life. The next day at school, they confronted their bully by shouting "NO!" and telling them they would stand up to the bullying. They realized standing up for themselves was the best thing to do and the bully needed to know they would no longer tolerate the harmful treatment. The overall message is that the next time someone feels scared and alone due to bullying, they should remember to stand up for themselves.

1. Stand up
I wake up in the night
To find that it’s you
I flip up my phone
It is time to view
I see what you have wrote
It just seems wrong to me
Cause when I flipped it open
I saw it with hee hee
I still remember to this day
The words you have chose
I can just see it in my head
The words that give me woes
“I h8 u, go die in a hole”
You had sent to me
And as my eyes filled up with tears
I left my house to flee
When I woke up
The very next day
I had 10 more
That would all stay
Now I asked myself that afternoon
What had I done
Why has she turned against me
Did she think it was fun?
The next day when I came to school
She pushed me to the ground
She held me there for quite some time
And I had made no sound
This went on
For about a year
I was so depressed
And filled with fear
I started skipping school
What else was I to do
Why was this happening
I just have no clue

2. And then one sorrow day
I got onto my bike
And rode to a mountain
That was called Mt. Pike
That day I had some terrible thoughts
Thoughts of suicide
And just as I was going to jump
Someone caught me by my side
I had no idea what it was
Not even to this day
But all that I know
Is that it was a pray
And when I knew
My life was saved
I knew what I would do
It was almost craved
So then the next day
At the beginning of school
I walked straight up to her
Oh I was full of fuel
I said a word
A normal word
I said a word
That everyone heard
“NO!” I shouted at her
I told her what I’d do
I was doing something
That I knew was true
I will stand up
I won’t have it anymore
I will let everyone know
That is for sure

3. And standing up
Was the best thing to do
My friend was a bully
And I’m sure she knew
So next time that you’re
Scared and alone
Always remember
The fact here that is shown:
Stand up for yourself!
