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

This is beautiful and very well written. At the end it shows that you have a good heart to care for someone that treated you wrong. Many blessings to you..... Lucilla
