With volunteer animators and motion artists at his side, Canadian spoken word artist and poet Shane Koyczan set to work on this extremely moving poem about the powerful effects of bullying and how the only way to overcome that is to recognize that you will make it and there is beauty in the world…and in you.

Get your tissues ready because I haven’t cried like this in a long time.
