They were all laughing then
as he stood in the middle of their circle
crying with rage as they taunted him
their insults stinging him as they landed
They thought it was a game
to be treating him this way
enjoying their current power
but it was not to last
He went on with his school studies
wanting to be the best at what he did
never quite forgetting what had happened
it gave him nightmares for a time
Then one day he saved the life
of one who had bullied him at school
they recognised each other
but it didn't stop him from helping
Since that day he has slept easier
the fear has drained away
all the bullies respect him for what he did
and for the first time in his life
no one laughs at him now
