Bystander

22 5 12
                                    


The eye of an infant storm
Swirls around when cold and hostile rumors
Collide with flared jealousies
And slowly spins around, gaining power

The eye of the storm enjoys it
Cherishing in the vastness of storm
Who doesn't love power and protection?
Maybe not at the expense at other people's lives
Slaughtered at the mercy of the storm
But it isn't at fault, it didn't do anything, right?

But no matter how destructive the storm gets,
The eye remains quiet.

A/N: Many people say to stand up to the bully to the bystanders, but they don't realize that it's scary. I know it's scary but you have to step out of the comfort zone. About 83% of teens have either witnessed or bullied someone in their lifetime at least once on social media or face to  face. So if you see someone being mean, try befriending the victim and distancing yourself from the bully. It is an intimidating task sometimes. Get apparent involved. They will help.
