Skip Away from Bullies

Whimsical mushrooms had a glow that lit up the sky
How did you get this way? Asked a passing butterfly.
They had no answer, born with this amazing gift.
Some people tried to pick a fight, but they let irritation drift.

Their mother had told them, don’t let bullies suck you in
If they get you angry or crying, they will take the “win”.
Act like you do not care and promptly skip away.
She had to teach them to do this and did so that very day.
