Your words will never hurt me <br />Above them, I shall always rise <br />Like warm air that escapes high <br />Into the winter’s sun kissed skies. <br /> <br />Your hate does not infect me <br />To that illness, I am immune <br />I don’t want to be like you <br />I like to dance to my own tune. <br /> <br />Your punches I do not feel <br />For I am so far, far away <br />Safe in my own little land <br />Where pain does not visit or stay. <br /> <br />So go ahead and beat me <br />Bully me, if it makes you grin <br />Just know you will not break me <br />Because bullies can never win.<br /><br />J.A McManus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bully-5/
