Do you know of poems which address bullying/school violence?

I've been trying to find a poem (not written by some random kid) about bullying or school violence.

I'm looking for at least one poem about bullying or school violence by a published author (please don't submit your own poem here unless you are a bonafide published author). Please give me the title, author, and source of the poem, and post the poem yourself if you can.

Update:

EDIT:

Sarah: what are you talking about?

    Um, theres a few poems about bullying on that site but, not sure if the people who wrote them are actual published authors. but it says who wrote them,

    As I make my way to school each day

    To see the girls who break my soul

    I wish I could tell the bullies in my school

    Can you be kind and not so cruel?

    And it starts and lasts all day

    I cannot stand it, go away

    Just close your eyes and you will see

    All the memories that you have engraved in me

    I think to myself

    There is no pain, there is no fear

    So dry away that silent tear

    It's not that easy you must know

    I'm not a project of anybody

    I'm not your pity either for you to be my friend

    Give me a chance so you can see

    There is nothing strange about me

    That you have not let them see

    I ask myself will this ever end?

    I just feel empty time to time inside me

    Sooner or later I'll break down and cry

    Let the darkness fill the room

    I can't get out of it, I can't resume

    I feel so alone like a single red rose,

    So alone like a story that's never been told

    I feel so alone like a sparrow in the sky

    Like a bird who cannot fly

    I am lucky to have a family like mine

    Who understand me and feel pride

    Otherwise my world would be dark

    With every unpleasant memories

    That is left inside me.

    Never allow anyone to bring you down

    On your mind make these feelings

    Make you stronger and put your head up high

    Never keep it silent

    There is nothing to feel ashamed of

    Only to those that join in all that harm.

    As I get up in the morning

    To prepare myself for school

    My body and my mind

    Start to get scared and

    My life felt very dark inside

    I couldn't take it any longer

    As I started to share my pain with my mum

    I didn't know how to explain to her

    It all came out with tears and a broken heart

    She couldn't comprehend as I hid it for a while

    I showed her every day I was a happy child

    Nobody will understand that bullying can make such harm

    I ask myself everyday what wrong have I done

    Why bullies don't take a day in my shoes

    To feel the unpleasantness to feel unwanted

    To understand how much damage they have done

    When you feel scared and abused inside

    If you ever feel you've been bullied

    Never feel guilty and keep it shut

    Just remember it's not your fault

    There are always jealous cowards in this world

    ^ My teacher read this one to me, and it was in a proper 'book of poems' but im still not sure the person who wrote it is an author her name was: Alexandra Galvis

    and the name of the poem was Bullying.

    sorry i wasn't much help.
