Bullies residing in my head
from the moment I get out of bed
They are always there
tangled in my hair
From so long ago
I don’t know
Please go away!
You can’t stay here today
Those words made me feel so small
and I took the fall
deep into a place
that dark space
Why can’t I let them flee?
Instead, they became a part of me
The enemy now I see
when I look in the mirror is me
Bullies in the background is one thing but being bullied by them in your mind is something else. Believe me, I speak from experience.
