Truth behind bullying

Truth behind bullying

I made a promise not to tell, 

the hurt in his eyes

I've seen him go through hell,

from all those lies

Still only a stranger

he doesn't know me

I put him in danger

in a gang of three

Still i walk straight past

hes being studied

Thinking it wouldn't last

really hes being bullied

Full of regret

a stranger whose unknown

Someone hes never met

shows he isn't alone

I see him cry

as he would talk

To the point he wants to die

through all he had fought

Something I couldn't bare

his tears, his fears

Its something we share

Following us all these years

I understand him fully

You don't know how he is feeling

he has a bully

you don't know how he is dealing

I made a promise not to tell

he tells me his secret

His journey through hell

I swore I would keep it

I lived that scenario  many years ago. But what I have learned is when you are an adult the people who bully mean nothing to you anymore. They can no longer take what they had taken when you were a child.  I think when you get older a part of you is just not up for grabs and perhaps that is the ego and the self-preservation that we all have. I love this poem very very much it speaks to me deeply and I thank you for putting it up here. If anyone can get through bowling as a child they can kick some ass as an adult!

I'm really glad you like this poem. I personally have had to deal with it my whole life, and i have found expressing my experiences through poetry is a way to show that those who can relate are not alone. I totally agree about kicking some ass as we get older!

What that last line was supposed to say is if you can live through bullying then you can kick ass as an adult… Damn speech text
