The news is plastered
With the bullies
This week…
Next month
It will be some
Other flash
In the pan
Topic
Of the distractible
Masses.
But as much as we
Tout the devastation
Of the bullies
In the world,
The worst
Offenders
Are inside
Of us,
Where we
Can't prosecute
Or make laws
To make
Our bullies
Behave
As we think
They should.
Every accuser
Has the worst offender
Living inside them,
Because we have
Internalized
Our bullies.
We think we know
But it is the
Insidious nature
Of that voice
Which makes
It worse
Than our parents
Or any other
Naysayers,
Because we
Have on eternal
Replay
Their tapes
In our heads.
The bullies
Only said it once
Perhaps twice,
And the button
Is stuck
So we have heard
Their taunts
Thousands
Of times more
Than the few
Actual offenses
That happened
In the external world.
We are beating
The cr@p
Outta ourselves,
And there is
No one to save
Us, but us.
When others
Say this and that
About him
Or her
We flare up
In anger,
Our protectors
Come out,
Defenders of
The right…
Then why
Is it,
When that
Internal voice
Says the same thing
We think it
Is important to
Question ourselves
And or even agree?
We would never
Accept that kind of
Talk from others
So why would we
From ourselves?
Wake Up!
Snap out of it!
Defend yourself.
Say NO,
To that voice.
Become aware,
Change the tape,
Be your own
Watchdog &
Defender!
If you wouldn't
Beat a child,
Then quit beating
Your inner child.
It's that simple.
Don't let your inner
Bully,
Beat your own
Divine spirit.
