The world is getting harder
I feel like my past is good
But lately, I need a starter
Just so I can get up like I normally would
Feels harder to breathe
Drowning in pressure
I can't see
Please reply to my letter
Never came home with bruises
But feeling like my soul was broken instead
The bully never loses
Leaving the bullied a feeling of dread
Why was I so blind?
Why was I so naïve?
Isn't what they did a crime?
If only I had seen
That I had one right next to me
Girl, you bullied me years ago
It still haunts me now
Tell me it ain't so
I was never loud
Until you broke me
Now I'm clinging to faith
Down on my knees
Taking my punishment with grace
Reading my bible
Feeling the guilt
My thoughts on an idle
I refuse to wilt
Even if no one is there for me
Even if I am left behind
Left screaming
Behind the line
Where anyone would hear me
My soul is aching
The tears are streaming
My heartbreaking
Bully you were in my past
Bully you have still
But will it last?
When someone near you falls ill
Scarred because of you
The bible killing who I am
But I will pursue
And I will stand
The bully never loses
But the bully will never have friends
The bully and I
Same inside
Dark and bleeding
Seething anger
Outside hard as a rock
But deep down
We are both just
Broken
