School Bullies

As I walk through the heavy iron gate
I can feel them deciding my fate
Their fiendish eyes prying on me
Acting as if I have to pay a fee

Their torment is haunting 
Their laughter is flaunting
They push and shove me with all their might
Knowing I will not be able to put up a fight

Their way of life is crude
Creating rumors making me feel nude
They are so full of pride 
Causing frail youth to hide

O Adelle, how this poem is going to resonate with so many who went through this same phase of bullying. The irony is that looking back it is only a small sliver of your life but when you're in the middle of suffering it, it seems like there is no end in sight. It is small consolation at the time but we all have to answer for our deeds at the end of our road, I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the bullies.

A very nice written poem, bullies are everywhere, this is merely the story of every single school, gladly my school has discipline, I was once bullied and my mother complained after that I have never been physically bulled, bullying must be stopped because it s wrong, just because someone has strength doesn t mean that he can degrade others,

Bullies are cowards who need to be stopped.. I hope you find someonr to help you.. I know teachers can make it worse.. normally it is their jealousy and insecurities... Welcome to poetry soup Adelle..
