Bully
I’ll be honest with you
I don’t think you understand what you put me through
You seemed so quiet, all alone
Then started reaching out and calling my phone
You acted so nice
Like sugar and spice
Lonely and sad
Like you needed a friend.
So I reached out
I shut out all doubt
Tried to be the best I could
Tried to show you that I understood.
But as soon as someone better
Came along and cleared the weather
You left me behind
Your words clouding my mind
“You were always annoying”
“So disappointing”
And now you’re destroying
While my anger starts boiling.
Red hot flames from my ears
I tried to be good, yet you abandoned me here!?
Then instead of ignoring me
You gave me burns of the third degree
You always bragged about how you broke free
Calling me out like a referee
Telling all your new friends
How I was the one who caused the end
Then instead of focusing on yourself
You always made me doubt myself
Always under my skin
Then the depression set in
Calling me names
Forcing me to take the blame.
Now looking back on you and me
I can see you were just a bully.
And now you’ve come back
Sorry you attacked
But it’s too late now
I hope she treated you well
When you left me for her
My worlds’ colors started to blur
And now you’re texting me again
Like all you need is a friend
Well it’s too late to be showing up at my door
That’s right, I’m a friend to you no more.
Now I’m the one who never responds
Now you’re the one who can call me gone.
And searching through the ashes, I can see
You were always just a bully.

I know that when most people hear the word "bully" they think of someone being physically attacked or beaten up. But from my experience, I've found that bullies can hurt your mental health and self-esteem too. I thought that it would be important to show that bullying can come in many forms, and that at first they don't always seem like a threat.
