Bully
Bully is a term used too loosely
Everything nowadays can be related to bullying
Everyone is a bully, every action is a form of bullying
Bullying is real, however it is sometimes used as an excuse
That is what irritates me
Some people out there are bullied to the point of suicide
Some people are bullied to the point of self-hate
Bullying like that is ignored on a daily basis by issues dealing nothing with bullying, rather using the term bullying
There are endless talks about stopping bullying
However it takes action to do something, to cause a change
So let's make a change
That girl who gave you the stink eye
Thats not bullying
That is a negative opinion
That boy who taunts you in school and over the internet who told you to kill yourself
That is bullying
That needs to be dealt with
Because its people like that who grow up to do serious damage
It all starts with a thought, a decision
What even is bullying?
What is a bully?
Can you define it?
Nor can I
There are so many different definitions that it makes me wonder
We cannot accurately describe exactly what a bully is and does
But we can accurately pick out a bully among the crowd
It's called instinct, it's a vibe
You know one when you see one
The power is in your hands, our hands, to stop bullying
We can do this
We know what it looks like
We have all experienced it
So what do you say we put this demon to rest?
