why do I bully you 

because I'm tired of being an outcast not fitting in

but fitting so perfectly purposely

could hear the fear in the eyes of hundreds of kids

young boy, a classic character in every high school sitcom I am bowser

 billion other kids gone wrong

every school has their bullies

and if the shoe fits have it tied on to your foot

you mistook me for a bully

 but these lockers were begging to get shoved into

 why because administrators cant hear the plead for help

underneath that crack of every punch I throw

 I Smack you down cause we both know i'm to afraid to ask you to carry some of

the burden that is put at me at home

 so I force it upon you

conducting the same anger that is beaten into me and unfortunately

it dosent work that way

 why because I am tired of seeing through the eyes of the powerless

 Sir, your child struck another child see,

 monkey see, monkey do then monkey suffer the consequences of his father actions then papa monkey is in jail

Papa left nothing behind but a pale young child

failing to find and color in his skin besides black and blue

 why

because I am cursed with these heritable anger management issues forced to constantly

see myself as

 both sides of the monsters

man towering over the helpless

helpless child but it helps inside to know I'm not the only one

 getting welts and black eyes why

 because I'm trapped inside this label lettuce wraps around my body

like chains

back my motions

 and brattling my brain just trying to explain

 that I'm required to abstain from trying to be

 anything but a bully

The poem above is written by me about the events going on in my novel, specifically towards the protagonist and the antagonist . As the protagonist of my novel is having a self vs self-conflict with himself of whether he should always depend on his brother or run away. The poem is about living as a bully and how bullies reach a certain stage that makes them violent. This is written in the antagonist perspective, the poem states that the antagonist use to be a person who got abused and reasons why he picks on other people. The protagonist later recognizes why the antagonist is doing all of this

The picture above demonstrates that bullies always target weaker students. This relates to my book because the protagonist "Phillips" Is always being treated on unfair, picked on etc. Because he has a special conditions that makes his face abnormal. Also in the comic above it shows that the older brother comes to help out the younger brother- this also happens in the book "The Monkeyface Chronicles"
