Bullies: are you the one who harassed the dyslexic boy to a noose?
Killing him one day at a time
Pushing him farther and farther.
Are you the one who tormented
The overweight girl to self-starvation?
The goal of non-existence. Zero pounds or less
The words flung like bullets at their souls
You killed them
Murder to the nth degree
Punishable by regret
It should be jail
Does it stem from being so bullied?
Are you the one who felt the need to
Persecute and damage the kid who got an 80%
On the final examine you failed? Revenge.
Bullied: with this in mind
When they push you to the ground, stand up
Refrain from introducing your fist, the bones of their nose
And walk away.
Or forever become, the bully.
