Bullied (an acrostic poem)


Bullied

Beaten down everyday
Under the watchful eye of
Lax authority, and held
Low by those who
In a perfect world, a perfect
Earth, would protect those
Desperately needing help

5/3/11
Form: acrostic

I was bullied as a kid. Some of the teachers helped, but most of the time I got the advice to just toughen up. I did and didn't end up liking who I turned into. It has taken me a long time to adjust my series of reactions so that I can at least resemble someone I would want to be around.
