Dear Bully

Is it okay,

To feed off of someone’s insecurities?

To tell them shut up so often that they are afraid to speak out?

To make them want to crawl into a corner and hide?

Is it okay,

To pull someone down the ladder as they struggle and fight to reach the top?

To break someone down to build yourself up?

To discourage them from following their dreams?

Is it okay,

To dream of new ways to torment someone?

To make them feel completely isolated?

To make them want to slit their writs twelve times?

Is it okay

To make me cry myself to sleep for two hours and 32 minutes?

To make me question everything I am and everything I stand for?

To take away every ounce of faith I had in myself?

Is it okay,

To be a bully?
