tasting the shadows
bloodletting cover the teeth
lips are swollen shut
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
walking talking punch
ground is hard kicking painful
it’s another day
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
words that hurt feelings
store the pain smile walk away
tears pillow alone
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
they say we hate you
loser gay queer no one cares
stares laugh at loser
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
texting hate mail comes
naked photographs displayed
secretly shot you
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
cheer on bullying
no shame for them just for you
you want it to stop
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
pain destroying you
can’t stop them must kill yourself
bullying complete

“To go against the dominant thinking
of your friends, of most of the people
you see every day, is perhaps the most
difficult act of heroism you can perform.”
- Theodore H. White ~
From: The Anti-Bully Blog
“Tasting the shadows is feeling the spirits that are close around you. They are aware of you when you wander into their neighborhod with your soul. You are becoming too close to the other side. The barrier is thinning. Waiting to see if you decide to crossover. You can always change your mind. You are not committed until you are committed and you entered into their domain and left this world behind.” ~J.K. the secret keeper~ ps. I highly recommend you don’t leave here long before your time. Bullies are not worth your surrendering your precious life. Hold onto it and find out what destination your life has set before you. Namaste! 3*^
Sad and sorrowful…but true!
Sad that anyone knows anything about this. Disturbing that this happens to anyone. Painful to feel it or see it or to try and stop it. It should never be happening ever. That there is so much violence against children or those who are percieved as being the chosen ones to bully should cease. Bullies need to be taken care of in a manner fitting their crimes. Bullying is a crime. Someone that might smoke a joint or be in possession of an illegal substance may go to jail but bullies walk free to offend again repeatedly. They need to be stopped. Someone needs to start creating rules or laws to defend the victims of bullies and bullies need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. BULLYING CAN BE AND OFTEN IS FATAL. j.k.
