Idol? No... Bully! Poem by Nicii Parsons

Idol? No... Bully!



You may think you're good coz you call me names
And you may think I'm hurting inside
You may even decide to get violent
But do you really think I am going to hide?
You may be bigger than me
And you may have won every fight
You may have damaged so many people
But how on earth do you sleep at night?
Knowing that so many people
Are running scared from your fist
And when somebody decides to stand up to you
Hitting them is hard to resist
Lots of people look up to you
Coz they are scared if they don't you'll turn sour
I bet half of them just think you're a bully
But when you say something to them, they just cower
So no one really idolizes you
And nobody wants to follow your path
They're just scared to open their mouths to you
Some of them won't even laugh
You have everybody below you
Obeying your every demand
But if somebody bigger came along
You would bury your head in the sand
You think it's good to pick on people
And point out anything you can
Two children tried their best to challenge you
While the majority of them just ran
These two brave little soldiers
Were taught to stand up for their rights
But you being the bully you are
Saw it as an excuse for a fight
So you made them both feel like nothing
You sent them crying on their way home
They didn't want to admit that you bully them
So they felt they had to fight you alone
So you continued to bully them
You knew they wouldn't tell
And when the parents asked where the bruises came from
They used to say they fell
But the truth is if they had told someone
They wouldn't be where they are
They would be happy
And left with many less scars
But instead they took the punches
And they didn't say a word
Coz they thought no matter how hard they screamed
Their voices would never be heard
They thought it would make it worse
If they told someone what you did
So instead they waited for school to end
And until you were gone they hid
You robbed them of their happiness
And you took away their lives
You may not have actually killed them
But you killed them deep inside
You tore at their emotions
And they knew they had nowhere to hide
Their pain was too great to mend
They wanted to go somewhere they couldn't be found
And they knew you couldn't hurt them again
I hope one day someone bullies you
And I hope you wish you were dead
And I hope each day is a battle
And you wish you'd stayed in bed
