Blinded.

I was given, a gift tonight,

the gift that I’ll, be out of sight.

No one will see, me for a day,

no one will hear, a word I say.

I know where I, would like to go,

to take a trip, to an old foe.

I want to pay, this bully back,

for his unkind, horrible knack,

to make me feel, I don’t want life,

to make me feel, there’s only strife.

I’m tired of him, his voice each night,

‘why don’t you let, your life take flight?’

He tears my life, apart each day,

and now it’s time, for him to pay.

I want to kill, all that is his,

because of who, he really is.

He stole away, my hope and joy,

from all the good, he would decoy.

With every step, I take I’m sure,

revenge on him, will be my cure.

I think about, what I could try,

how I could make, him slowly die.

I come up close, look in his house

I sneak inside, quiet like a mouse.

He is in bed, lying asleep,

the hate I have, begins to seep,

to every part, in every thought,

this evil boy, needs to be taught,

if you bring hurt, it will come back,

you’ll be the one, it will attack.

I rip the sheets, off of the freak,

I want to make, him feel so weak.

But now I see, a boy I know,

it fills me up, with empty woe,

I finally stop, in shock and see

the bully was, always just me.

He was the voice, inside my head

making me stress, making me dread,

that no one loves, me as I am,

that no one gives, an actual damn.

That I am not, ever enough

he made my life, always feel tough.

Now I know why, I felt so bad,

I was the one, making me sad,

I was the one, who was so blind,

I was the bully, inside my own mind.

The gift left, I knew what to do,

I must share, this story with you.

Make sure you know, you’re given grace,

make sure to look, at your own face,

and say kind things, to lift your heart,

kindness should be, what you impart.

No matter what, others will say,

look in the mirror, and smile each day,

Because you are, so very loved,

you are special, made from above.

When I looked, at that boy again,

the boy who, caused me so much pain.

I finally stopped, in shock and saw

the bully was, but now is no more.
