Poems| Return to Index | Why
Me You Bully?Must I be a victim of your taunts?
Draining
me of feelings and emotions
Sucking me dry of life's big joys
Why me? Your
intimidation shatters me
Killing my trust in others
Drowning me in the depth
of sorrow
Why me? Your sense of superiority belittles
me
Warping my belief in human similarities
Switching now to anxiety and
anguish
Why me? Your words shoot straight to my heart
Bleeding
profusely from your bitter thoughts
Executing a pain you can never experience
Why
me? Your dirty act of lies and control
Makes me too scared
to speak or cry
Splitting my head from ear to ear
Why me? You
are cold, callous and calculating
Attacking so savagely my sense of self-worth
Obliterating
so utterly, any mutual respect
Why me? Your aggression
cause such helplessness
Swelling into isolation, despair and defeat
A life
that summons sickness and suicide
Why me? Your imperfections
could not be my perfection
Your battering makes me a bleak broken shell
In
tatters by your very sorry self
Why me? I can take no
more of you
You bigot, you tyrant, you bully
Intruding into my space with
evil repugnance
Why me? I may not be better than you
But
I am human and you are inhumane
A self-centred thug, oblivious to empathy and
affection
Why me? Do go to hell, and learn these three
words
Consequences, responsibility and respect
Then come back and be my
true equal
Why not?
Similarity,
