I’ve been a bully in my life,
I am ashamed to say it —
The many times I sought control;
Each one – I can replay it –
But all it got me was depression
And a host of ex’es —
It made of me a bête noire,
A type of tangled nexus –
But somehow, people that I hurt
Remember me with fondness,
Instead for the pain I caused
From active inner darkness
I’ve been a bully in my life,
I know one when I see one –
And can’t forget, whate’er may come,
That I’m still prone
To be one
