To This Day - Shane Koyczan

This profound poem written by Shane Koyczan is for anyone who has ever been affected by bullying. If you are feeling lonely, hopeless, depressed, or ashamed as a result of bullying, we hope Shane’s words will remind you that you are not alone and that things will get better even though it may seem impossible right now.

These lines epitomize the essence of Shane’s brilliant spoken word piece:

“If you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself...get a better mirror. Look a little closer. Stare a little longer. Because there’s something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit. You built a cast around your broken heart and signed it yourself, you signed it “THEY WERE WRONG”. - Shane Koyczan

Shane composed this piece with hopes that it would become a starting point for the families, students, and schools that are in need of the proper tools to confront this issue. If this has helped you, please share it with anyone that might benefit from hearing it too.
