Tear Stained Bullying

Folder:

Karyn Indursky

Smoky hue emotions
cloud my blue eyes
as I try to stay calm, cool, collected,
but when bullying doesn't cease,
selfishness doesn't dissipate,

when people don't

defend, protect, or speak up

tears brim with a tightening chest,

and wishing I could fade into hiding

or people would stick up for me,

take a stand,

try to end it,

loan eyes and ears,

hug me whether it's my

brothers, sisters, friends, family...

or maybe hold me...

If it's a man

and try to soothe my pain stained

Caucasian skin with words

of encouragement, support, and understanding.
