Dear bully,
Your so cruel at school,
With all your "friends" thinking your so cool,
When really your not. Your just a sad, sad, girl, living in a sad, sad world,
Like all the rest of us, but you manage to turn the sadness into un ugly trait of hate. You tell me I'm nothing, words can hurt you know, but only if you let them in under your skin.
Dear bully,
We are both 30 now, the cruel world of school is done,
I'm living in a nice home, with a husband and 3 kids, with a steady job,
What are you doing? Living in a tiny house paying rent with no one that loves you. Just what I thought.
Dear bully,
You might have been cool back then but look who's laughing now.
