Though deftly perched in the high-limbed boughs of cynicism
I still cower
Egregiously apt in the fine art of persuasion
I still cower
Contentious to those who would doubt my will
I still cower
Subversive to a point of revolution
I still cower
Introspection reflects my brokenness
Yet, I still cower

Persistent bullying can definitely have a detrimental effect on one’s spirit. It’s a serious issue too many take lightly.

It is… I had a neighbor that was a bully to a lot of kids, not me. Now, he seems to have become normal and humbled.

Don’t we all have moments when we can’t seem to muster courage. The biggest truth about bullies is that they are the cowards. Such a shame.

I personally was never bullied, but I knew some. I think today it’s worse. 😔
