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
I really like your poem Mustapha; I could feel the pain of the bully .
