Why do you treat me the way that you do?
Is it that I am that different from you?
Your actions are cruel, they tear at my heart.
You think you are better, you think you're so smart.
You're just another kid, no better or worse,
But your turning my teen years into a curse.
I never did anything to make you hate me,
So why do you have to be such a bully?
Is your life so bad, are you that insecure
That you must be the cause of the pain I endure?
You're not going to win for I will survive.
Each day I grow stronger, and soon I will thrive.
I'll pray for your soul, ask God to forgive you
For you're just a kid, you know not what you do.
I hope that someday you'll look back on these years
And realize why you were so full of fears
That you had to strike out and hurt someone else.
I know that you'll end up just hurting yourself.
But me, you're making me stronger each day,
Learning to live with the hurt and the pain.
I'm learning to treat others like I want to be treated.
Just because I was, they don't have to be cheated
Of happiness, dignity, caring and more.
I won't be someone that others abhor.
I'll be a good friend, I'll always be there
Whenever a person needs someone who cares.

Turning a negative into a positive. Always a good theme. -learning wisdom and growing stronger from our challenges, and only you and a handful of others could have said it so well.
Bullies are a constant problem in many schools. It is a test that most of us need to pass, but do not need to be exposed to. I think this subject needed to be treated with a bit more passion, feeling sorry for the bully and praying for him is a noble idea, but takes away from the fire and passion that this poem should, because of its theme, contain. I also suggest the following: Use question marks at the end of your questions and whenever possible, separate your work into stanzas. Stanzas make it easier for the reader to read and improves the fluidity of your work. I don't know if you're new to the site, but if you are, welcome to PnP!
People can be so mean, I know, I'm one of them. (sadly)If you want to know more about me and my meaniness check out my story, it's called "I can be so nice... yet so mean" I'm usually nice to pretty much everyone. I'm kinda short temped, but When I get mad it's nothing serious.
Good write!
