i stand helplessly, <br />as he walks towards me, <br />my heart is racing, <br />it's pulsating, <br />inside my chest, <br />his fists by his side, <br />strong and ready for a fight, <br />my palms are trembling, sweating and clammy, <br />i have no one to run to- no mummy no daddy, <br />his grin is merciless, <br />ready to pulverise me, <br />the teachers believe, <br />that he is a tease, <br />it makes my stomach churn, <br />that someone so spiteful could turn, <br />into an innocent being, <br />lik you or me, <br />just to please the believing eyes, <br />he doesn't care about who he hurts, <br />as he grows he gets worse and worse, <br />as he throws that fatal punch, <br />i try and duck, <br />i avoid the fist of fury, <br />it just makes him angry, <br />like a caged wild beast, <br />coming after me, <br />i have nowhere to run or hide, <br />i have to obide his rules, <br />stand still, <br />no free will, <br />and let him penetrate my feeble body, <br />so nastilly, <br />he kicks my shin, <br />my knees fold in, <br />i fall back on the floor, <br />i am left in awe, <br />i'm powerless now, <br />too weak to move, <br />i need to face up to the fact that i am going to lose, <br />my self esteem is rock bottom, <br />this chapter in my life will not be forgotten, <br />because even when its over, <br />if you ever give in, <br />you'll always believe that the bully wins.<br /><br />emily summers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bully-3/
