Inner Fire
He looked up in disgust
Fight back; get even he must
Got to light the inner fire
Never let the embers expire
Bullied yet again
His face mirrors the pain
His ego’s brutally bruised
Mistreated and abused
Will this never ever end?
Will he never find a friend?
Days and days they’d spend
And each other comprehend
But stop! Enough is enough!
Fight back even if it be rough
The inner fire fully ignited
And he stood up all excited!
And it feels so good
For himself he finally stood
A black eye he nursed in pain
No one heard him complain;
Aches and pain will go away
But self-esteem shall stay!
Thus a schoolyard lesson learned
Bullies thrive when back is turned!

It is not autobiographical because I don't remember ever having been bullied as a child. I hanged out with the bigger kids; they sheltered me from the neighborhood bullies.
However, this poem is dedicated to everyone who have been bullied sometime in their lives. Especially those that certain presidential candidates (who shall remain nameless) have tried to bully over the years!
