I was just a kid Lost in a world of grownups I was often with a sad eye I never admitted the cry The street was not a happy place Seekers of the dark With adult leers I was so so filled with abject fear Twm mocked, even though de-frocked Chasing the pains and nightmares Glamorgan was full of bridges Under which the trolls held vigils For Twm chased many to death As I ran and I ran, as fast As my little feet can I reached the bridge On top I stand A child’s fear drowned I jumped

Bully's if convicted of causing a child to harm themself should be required to register as a offender just the same as a pedophile. There needs more to be done as I even see in adults that putting down another human being just a joke.
