The Bully

Why are you being so cruel to me? What did I do or say? Why do you verbally abuse me When I try to walk away? You may not like my style Or even the clothes I wear, But you do not have permission To hurt me without a care. I shed a lot of tears As soon as I got home; Because you wouldn't listen When I said, "Leave me alone!" My head is slowly spinning And my heart is filled with pain: I hope and pray that I will never Go through this again. You've tried to bring me down, That was your sinister plan; But God was there to lift me up-- And now, here I stand. I have family and friends Who love and care for me; My message to the bully is: "I've got the victory!" You're nothing but a coward, And you're not very clever: But karma will catch up with you; May your actions haunt you forever.

Great depiction of the effects of bullying --- including, of course, the resolve to rise above it. Thanks, gw
