The Long Walk Home…poem…Not everyone knows,Of the torment of being bullied,It’s a disease,The victims often suffer in silence. …The long walk home,For many young people,It’s fraught with fear,A unrelenting form of terror. …The young man has committed no crime,Except for just being himself,His adversary feels intent on asserting his dominance,Of his superior brute strength. …They say the only way to stop a bully,Is to startle him or her,Then thrash them,For most victims this is easier said than done. …The young man keeps a close eye on the clock,Knowing 3:30 will be imminent,His mind unravels,Hoping unrealistically for a protector or sudden means of salvation. …The long walk home,Seemingly there’s nothing he can do,For all the victims of bullying,There’s more of us than them.
