Why Do We Bully ?

Bullying, why do we bully ?
Is it because we feel that we are strong
Or is it because the wealth that others fond
Knowing it's wrong, feeling a bit of sympathy, then snap back into reality which then suddenly it's all gone
That power of dominance controls over the mind
Through time, breaking each component down as they go blind
Losing their mind, more focus on what they call "mine" rather then a smile just to be kind
Trying to understand the mindset of a bully
With that lack of attention and stability
From emotionally to physically pushing the limit of cruelty
Taking people lives by a control
Fear of standing up because they always results in a fall
Having a raw look on their face, wishing they could gather some space Enough to roll this marble of life into a better place
Where the scars escapes, then joy comes to their innocent face
Do bullies understand what they do to other people ?
Bullies not being able to understand the harmful predicament which breaks the individual down to be unstable
The irreplaceable feeling that one twist and pop out, then drop the self esteem that wasn't shield up for a block
Slowly their heart goes into shock as their life gets rock
Afraid for their life, because this beating won't stop
Fist balled up, without any resistant
A bullies first instinct as they see your existence
Swinging hard, knowing they can't miss
Time move slowly as the damages becomes at a higher risk
Instead of a reaction that comes quick, we just quietly sit
Afraid of saying something, because our friends will lose the commitment
However the bully rather stock, knowing the material things come by the slot
Thinking power is important, as a predator sees their prey, swiftly and fiercely moving as they take their shot
Can we ever stop the bullying ?
Something's need to stop, just for the sake of the young children
Showing them violence is not the way to get your wishes
But we don't understand the feeling, that some people live it their whole life
In spite, this issue that places ones mind into fright by the end of each night
Knowing tomorrow they might see each other in plain sight, trying to do what's right instead the bully just wants a fight
We as people lost sight that these actions aren't the key to a better life
Throw our heads in shame because in all honesty we are the ones to blames
Bullying lives still today, in order for a stop, we have to look in the mirror and start this change
