The Bullied


The Bullied:

 

We don't like or love your abuse

You may not know, but you lit a fuse

 

Building, brewing anger and hatred

You're wrong if you think you're the one that didn't make it

 

Built in a house or a broken home

Just know that you're not alone

 

You're house is filled with neglection

People in your life expect perfection

 

What they don't expect

 is to find you in a room with a rope around your neck

 

People just go and pummel you down

Then wonder why you have a frown

 

You don't know if to stick around for the time you wear your cap and gown 
when people talk smack, they go to town

 

Hoping they would stop

Wondering if you'll leave with a pop

Or taking off someone's top

 

Contemplating to leave something degrading
or give your last goodbyes to the nation

 

The feelings subside for an instance of joy or relief
Then remembering them knocking out your teeth

 

It causes a great deal of pain

It's hard to refrain

From creating a swift and permanent change

 

I wish for all of those suffering

That they don't end their life while their story is buffering

 

Don't let this tight, burning cuff
make your life incredibly rough

 

Some plow through life like a bulldozer

Don't believe your life is over

 

You pull strong and get through it

Don't allow others to make you feel like a kit

 

Full of tools and accessories

Used for their temporary necessities

 

Don't let it go to your heart

Don't let this feeling tear you apart

 

Overwhelming sense of negation

Don't worry, you'll lose this sensation

 

Don't allow these feelings to end in an investigation

 

For this life that you'll live, let's make a celebration.
