You play with their emotions
You send them crying on their way
You have damaged so many people
But this is just how you play

You rob them of their happiness
You take away their lives
You may not physically hurt them
But you hurt them deep inside

So you think you’re bigger than others
And you may have won every fight
But if somebody bigger came along
You wouldn’t sleep at night

You’d cower down in hallways
You’d bury your head in the sand
You’d understand what it feels like
To have to obey a bullies’ command

Lots of people look up to you
But most are scared of you fully
So nobody actually idolizes you
They just think you are a bully.
