Truth behind bullying

I made a promise not to tell,Â
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 IÂ 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
That would have been a great way to finish this poem off.
