Bully.

The words cut like a knife

Slitting my confidence

Cutting my pride.

Intimidated by phrases.

On their own

They mean nothing.



Without you

I flourish

No punishments

For doing right

Only praise

From loved ones.



I don't need you

Achieving your goal

Of breaking confidence.

Killing my happiness,

Destroying my composure,

Demolishing hope.

This poem is so true to life. I've felt the same way about bullies many times. I epsecially like the phrase "On their own [t]hey mean nothing."

Wow- scary. I've written some poems on almost exactly the same subject and it's weird that you've felt the same way. It's good by the way!
