Epigram

Explanation:

Epigram is a brief poetic composition that expresses a single main thought, festive or satirical, in an ingenious way. The Epigram was created in Classical Greece and, as the meaning of the term indicates, was an inscription that was placed on an object - a statue or a tomb, for example.

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
