Bullying happens
Regardless of age
People think they
Are better then you
And so they
Get vicious
Like Rottweiler's
Off a leash
Teeth showing
Flaunting the
Superiority complex
Around like it's a gift
And who's the easiest target
If not an ill person
Someone who they can
Make easily cry
And laugh themselves silly
Afterwards
Transpose their own
Fledgling mental state
Onto someone else
And call them names
When in reality
They are making themselves
Look worthless
Like pieces of trash
Discarded into the garbage
Too rotten even for the recycle bin
To carry them away
The aftermath of such
Malicious torment
The person bullied
Has to pick up the pieces
But how?
When someone you
Almost idolized
Turns out to be
A vile demon in disguise
How does one move on from that?
And then you stop
And you think
About what you are dealing
With for real in your life
Your illness
And you slowly start to realize
What an insignificant bug
That person is in the greater
Scheme of things
Does it make the pain less that moment?
Probably not
But all is not lost
And you know in your heart of hearts
Who you really are
Despite some vagrant's blubbering
And this time
For the first time
Where I usually wish
For them to still have
The best life can give them
This time
I don't
Karma will have her day
I wash my hands, mind, heart, soul
Of this evil
And move forward
Away from the dark
Toward the light
Never looking back
One step at a time
