Carmael William Poet Free verse

To My Fellow Bully

If only you were me, 
Would you beleaguer me then too? 
Your words they pierce through like bayonets! 
You do not discern the imperium of your words, 
And I would never pray for you, 
To be in my shoes. 

My flaws they are naked, 
Open like a lunette, 
Through which I can peer through, 
Seeing and believing all is true, 
Like broken shards they hurt me;
You don't have to tell me too. 

If only I were you, 
I wouldn't let you be, 
What you have put me through, 
I would cherish thee, 
For then I'd be happy too, 
It would have been a blessing true.
