Bullying and Racism
Today, I called the Police assistance line,
I was connected to the Police Station nearby.
The Officer asked 'What happened?".
I said "I desperately need some advices,
I was verbally harassed for months,
Till last week, I was physically assaulted.
When I was at the tram stop,
I decided to ignore her as I did before,
I even walked further away from her.
She followed me and hit me at the back.
The offender was someone who attended
And used the services as I did.
Every time, her excuse was,
I had a go at her male friend,
Whom I never had any interactions
Nor conversations.
Each time, she neared me,
She called me name and
Gave me a dirty look.
Sometimes, I saw her mumbling and whispering
To others while pointing and gazing at me.
Since then, those listened to her story,
Started taking turn to bully me individually.
Once, I was attacked from behind
By a four wheeled walker against my heels,
I reported some incidents in writing,
The management once told me
To deal with the issues myself.
Since then, all the harrassments happened
Away from the services' premises.
After listening to my story,
The Police asked me to get,
Her full name from the management.
I replied, due to privacy policy,
No name was allowed to given out.
Police said "Next time, carefully recording
The incident and call back.
We will see what we can do.
Take care"
I did not want any more incident.
I just what the management to help me,
By being with me and letting me talk
To the woman and her male friend.
If, I had have a go done anything against her male friend ,
Then, what rights did she had to treat me
Like the way she claimed I did.
I have been targetted and racially abused.
