Victims

Some call them cowards, some call them cold,
They tease, don’t say please,
And don’t do as they’re told.

They are cheered on by peers,
Who laugh at the sight of tears,
But at home, they have their own issues,
And they are the ones using the depressing tissues.

Their only way out is to pay out,
Different cultures, looks, faces and races,
People who can’t tie their own shoelaces.

Victims, you must hear me!
Bullying is not the way, can’t you see?
Please, try to recognise,
That sly lies, leads to people’s confidence’s demise.

So any bully, seek help, and change fool!
It’s never too late to be cool!
