Author's Note

When I was younger I walked away
But now when I see a bully
I try to stop the fiend
And I don't know why
But they're scared of me
I've grown stronger from ROTC
And now I hope they see
The pain these kids go through
So much that its nothing new
They bruise
Black and blue
For nothing but being themselves
For whom does toll the bells
When their time is here
The bullies will be filled with fear
When they die
No-one will cry
All they're ever be
Is a faded memory
Of a bully
The scars they leave
That the victims heave
Is all that's left behind
From that cruel bind
That was the bully
Now all that they see
Is the faded memory
And they thank me
A bully is why
So many people cry
And so many die
The prick makes a joke
And that kid hangs the rope
Its a sad life
Filled with strife
They need a hero or a saint
That will drive away the taint
So why do you walk away
Like you didn't see it all
You do it everyday
You saw that kid fall
From the blow
He said he had a tripp
But you know
He was hit
You still don't say a thing
Don't you feel that sting
Its you being guilty
Why don't you rise
Make the prick face his lies
Fight the bully
Start saving lives
Don't sit and be guilty

I love this and I agree and don't like bullies but we have to look at it from their point of view like whats going on in their lives to make them o upet and mad at the world doesn't make it right what they are doing but still....

Aren't bullies the worst? If I could I'd give them all hugs and tell to stop but then a part of me wants to kick their a*s...if i had a good kick lol. Great poem. It showed the fear behind it and the scariness of it in simple lines :D

wow, this is a really good song. lol ROTC does make you stronger. Good work my friend.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Yes it does. Thank you

[Freckled Princess]

You literally strike me as one of my close friends who writes poetry like this- deep and meaningful. You possess the pain and your own anger towards what happens. Bullying is horrible, and should be stopped.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Yes. Thank you for reading

[Freckled Princess]

Of course.

[Owlgirl]

OH MY GOD!!!
I LOVE THIS!
Me and my other friend on this site are obsessing over it. Great job Harley!
This is so sad and heartbraking along with the truths woven in.
I think this is the best you've done.
Awesome going.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Uh. Thanks. I guess that's a good thing? Lol

[Just Some Dreamer]

I was that friend and it was definetely a good thing. I liked the way you didn't always need to rhyme and the way you truly told a story. I also liked how you ended it. One of my favorites

[prettyfacehill]

[dunnia]

i love the reality of this poem...many of us aren't bullies but we dont even do anything to prevent it......and we just walk around and ignore everyone else's problems cause were to busy with our problems that aren't even half as important

[Harley (arbiter)]

[dunnia]

just admitting to the harsh and sad reality we live in
