Bully
I'd remembered your entrance
a sudden rapture arose
the wind at my feet settled
beneath me as I folded my arms
thee feeling of being inadequate
an emotional stain seemed to grow
outward noticeable to everyone around me
I continued downward frail matter of self worth
while you summons my thought's again
focused solely on the wrath you continue
to bestow upon me desperately I declared
not to be moved today by your immature
selfish nature draining me of self determination
why I'd begun to avoid your waking wrath
leaving me meaningless unwanted
your laughter peered through my soul
my heart ached as you flaunted my books
you'd taken from me my pages you ripped
my lunch monies so daringly riding
on a chariot of hatred thunder roared
across the park while the short cut home
became so much further today
trembling with fear I finally got a glimpse
of your eyes filled with deep sadness
and regret I soon developed this urgent need
to care for your broken spirit
in light of the senseless wrath
you've so cleverly raged against me
