Bullies intimidate,
getting into your face,
having no respect
for your time or space.

Bullies stalk their targets,
 often traveling in herds,
using aggression
and hurting with words.

Deep down inside, though, 
most bullies are weak,
finding false strength
in the havoc they wreak.

Bullies are be pitied,
understanding fully,
somewhere in their past,
they, too, were victims of a bully.
