Being the Bully Doesn't Help

Being a bully doesn’t help,
Trust me I’ve been there,
I was bullied in grade one.
Three years later,
That bullying kept on happening.

In grade four I became the bully,
I had built up courage,
To stand up to my bully,
After lunch,
That same bully was in my chair.

I told her to stand up,
Move.
No was her reply, I raised my fist,
Punched in the face,
The bully backed away.

I felt tough.
I felt strong.
I became the bully.
Picking my fights,
Not physically but hurting feelings.
