A TARE IN MY SOUL
By Dolly Lee

They say we're all created equal.
God's children loved the same.
So why do you condemn me,
And cause me so much pain?

I am a human being.
I live and breathe like you.
I have a soul inside me.
I am God's child too.

You laugh at me, you spit on me,
You call me horrible things.
You beat on me and abuse me,
Ignoring the tears it brings.

The pain you've caused is unbearable.
Deeper then you could know.
It ripped apart my happiness.
Stabbed deep into my soul.

So many days I walked this earth,
Thinking I didn't belong.
But was never sure what it was,
That I had done so wrong.

I am physically disabled.
I have a very sick, weak heart.
Is it because of this,
You tore my soul apart?

Even though my heart was sick,
I always woke up happy.
I cherished every moment I had,
And the life that God gave me.

Then my happiness was robbed from me,
You stole it all away.
I cried myself to sleep each night,
Afraid to face each day.

After years of being beat on,
Called stupid, weird, and freak,
My soul started crumbling,
And my emotions became weak.

I started to believe your words,
That I was worth nothing.
That somehow I must deserve,
The terror that kept coming.

You knocked me into a deep depression.
Even kicked me while I was down.
But I fought against your demons,
And have my feet back on the ground.

I am no longer in your school of terror.
My soul has begun to heal.
But the pain you caused will linger forever.
A pain I will always feel.

As I struggle to get my happiness back,
I wish for you one thing.
To learn from this life you almost destroyed,
And stop the bullying!

A Congressman speaks out about bullying, and in support of an anti bullying law in Arizona
"The school ground bully has been around for too long.  His entire success at bullying is predicated upon arrogant disregard to simple decency, and a willingness to brutalize an innocent victim simply because the bully is bigger and stronger and others are afraid to intervene.  It is insidious and calls for society and government to intervene decisively.  This bullying bill is a start.  As you deliberate this bill please reflect on the fact that Government's primary purpose for existence is for the protection of its innocent citizens.   ...Then remember your bully as a child."        Congressman Trent Franks (R) Arizona
