Hey Mr Or Ms Bully

Did you forget how you felt when you were bullied too?
You felt small and insignificant; you’re not healed yet,
Remember, learn and change your ways by being true.
Did you forget how you felt when you were bullied too?
Leopard, change your spots to live without regret,
Sowing seeds of kindness is likened to the morning dew.
Did you forget how you felt when you were bullied too?
You felt small and insignificant; you’re not healed yet.

Nice Triolet, Alexis. I haven't forgotten the bullying I experienced as a young (smallest kid in every class) boy. Smiles ~ Blessing Bill

People bully others for many different reasons and yes some of them were bullies and became a bully so as to keep from being bullied. I remember being bullied at school when I was a kid. I refused to let them see me cry or think me scared. I walked with my head held high and never let them see my discomfort. But it did mark me for life. I'm not very trusting of others and my best friends are my pets. Good write my friend. God Bless, JB

So many different reasons why people bully others….insecurities, inadequacies or just plain meanness…..we human beings are complex creatures….not acceptable though whatever the reason. Great poem Alexis! Debx

Bullies are just as afraid of being hurt as everyone else; their shield is frequently just hot air. Aloha!

Usually bullies are just attention seekers unaware of the misery that they cause others. Enjoy your weekend Alexis. Tom

Hi Tom, That is true. But in some cases bullies were the victim of bullying too. I appreciate your continued support. Have a nice day and weekend:-) Alexis
