Bully

Schoolyard bullies are easy

They can be solved

They can be shut up

But what about the bully in my brain

The one that doesn't run away

I can't shut it up

I swear this bully is going to be the end

Be the end of me

-The bullies victim

<p>This is really thought provoking. We always are our worse critics and sometimes we internalize the opinion of others. Thank you for sharing a common thread we see today in our schools with children and adults. </p>
