Bully

Don't look back

all these faces
so many
they used to be so small
and green

but now
they are big
and staring at
me

Don't look back

I turn around and see Billie
on the floor
fist in mouth
choking on tears

I have to keep going
find my equals
they understand
I know they do

Don't look back

I have my reasons
Billie does too
it is where we stand

and he will learn
some day
why bullies like me
try to fix
people like him

Just
don't look back
