The Bully


A bully is someone who uses Insults, violence, fear, or manipulation To get what the bully wants Or just to put down those around them. Whether it's a punch in the face, a threat here and there, or calling you ugly and useless, A bully doesn't want to see your head held high. As I was getting ready in the morning, I thought “I look awful, I hate my skin, I should sleep more often, I wish I could trade that flab for some abs, Why did I sleep so late? Why did I procrastinate? Why am I so lazy? Why can't I be productive?” I stopped right there, as I stood there And realized that I Put myself down all the time And I didn't have my head held high. I am my own bully.
