BACs of fault

 To the bullies

Who joined in on the torment…

...you’re forgiven

...you were just a child.

To the bullies

Who poked, prodded, and hit …

…you’re forgiven

…but understand what you did.

To the bullies

who enjoyed their sorrow and tears…

…you’re forgiven

 

…hope the child healed from the pain.

To the adults

Who knew it was happening….

...it’s your fault

…you could have stopped it.

To the adults

Who didn’t stop the bullying…

…it’s your fault

…your inaction enabled them.

To the adults

Who did nothing…

…it’s your fault

… you should have stopped the abuse.

 To the child

Who was shunned by their peers…

…it’s not your fault

…kids can be mean.

To the child

who was teased, mauled, abused…

...it’s not your fault

...you didn’t deserve it.

To the child

Whose innocence was tarnished…

…it’s not your fault

…don’t let them define you.

 

…dig deep into the rubble of your heart, find your light and shine.
