I've been where you're at

Don't kick him when he's down

That makes you look like a d****e 

I don't care who he is

And what he did to you

Don't hate others for what they have

Or look down upon them for what they don't

I'm almost sure they will not judge

Just as long as you won't 

Don't hate on someone when their back is turned

And love them to their face

Because eventually someone is going

To put you in your place

Don't put her down

Because you can

Because she's smaller

That behavior, I cannot stand

Don't you ever turn the other cheek, either

You cannot kill with kindness, fight back

Stand up for yourselves and they'll lay off

Trust me, I've been exactly where you're at

I wish my work colleague would take heed of this Annabelle Lee. I have watched him get bullied by an upstart of a manager and i offered to step in but he won't hear of it. He has now resorted to taking sick leave to avoid the situation and its him who is suffering.
This is sound advice - bullies are cowards and only 'respect' strength and fearlessness
Well said

I have a saying I live by...I don't spit in the wind because it always comes back at you. Judge lest you be judged for none of us is perfect or infallible.

I've also gone through being bullied and humiliated for such reasons, that when other people complimented me on those things, I couldn't believe them. Sadly, this is a very honest piece, written wonderfully. Well done.
