Strength In Numbers

An expanded and edited version of my poetic response, to Holly Mason's poem, "HYPNOTIZED". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/HOLLYMASON/1181860/

Sigh.

Why do some people
Feel this urgent need

To belittle others.

In order
To install

A sense of pride
Into themselves.

For words
Can kill.

As too many people

Have suffered

This fate.

Having

Myself

Walked this edge.

Which

The bully's actions
Have placed
Upon me.

To all victims

Who numbers

I am one.

Standing united

In the fight
Against bullies.
