Criticized Into Suicide
by David Pekrul
copyright 12-20-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
This is a work of fiction, written to illustrate how bullying can become deadly

I didn't mean to cause him pain,
For all I did was call him names,
A little fun at his expense,
I didn't mean to cause offence.

Although quite slim, I called him fat,
And acted like some kind of brat,
But I was just a little kid,
And did things that my Mom forbid.

But then I entered teen-aged years,
And pressured by my other peers,
I ridiculed and criticized,
A guy who everyone despised.

And though I didn't know him well,
I made his life a living hell,
And every single night he cried,
And contemplated suicide.

And then I heard it in the news,
That he had filled himself with booze,
And with his father's loaded gun,
He blew himself to kingdom-come.

And I'm the one who is to blame,
Although I thought it just a game,
A game where I could pick and choose,
The ones who win, and ones who lose.

Now I'm tormented every day,
And will be 'till I'm old and gray,
So learn a lesson from this tale,
Or live your life to no avail.

I'm sending this off immediately to some kids that really need to hear it (bullies and bullied alike). Sometimes I wish I could take the bully by the ear and fly him through the skies, to listen to the heartfelt prayers, victims send out with pleading cries. To see them toss and turn upon their restless beds, to witness first hand just where their torment has led! Sigh... K, all these bully poems today are really getting my goat!!! :-/

I really like this. It reads so smooth and carries such an important message. Thanks for pointing your work out to me!

This is a sad look at what hazing will do. The really sad thing is that most of the time the person that makes the fun never finds out what they have done. The person that is made fun of usually goes off alone and though most don't kill themselves, some do. This is a wake up call that many need to hear! Thanks, Anthony
