Bully

you pick on the innocent
pray on the weak
leave the unwanted in your dust
harming all in your path

they go home
bruised and beaten
filled with tears
a lump in their throats

still breathing
still a love in their hearts 
yet they have more strength
than you ever will

I can definatly relate to this... it brings back my middle and highschool years. Powerful ending and yet true. I have passed by some old bullies at the mall before and they won't look at me face to face.
