A Bully Poem by Sapphire Gordon

You can hurt,
You can lie,
You can meddle,
You can try
My temper.
But don't deny
The hateful things
You have said.

You may think,
You may breath,
You may talk,
You may please
Everybody.
But don't agree
To ruining
My life.

You shall be,
You shall stay,
You shall remain,
You shall play
A part in the world.
But don't continue
To behave
The way you do.

Things will cease,
Things will change,
Things will happen,
And re-arrange
Over time.
But the marks
On my heart
Will stay forever
