The walk to my school
filled my heart with a deep dread;
cap and bag held tight
I was an easy target
for bullies on the estate.

Do you know, I’m not really sure. Just a memory from my childhood. Maybe I was thinking of the bullying nature of terrorism…I don’t know.

I despise bullies. Being small, I got picked on, too. Ah, well, what doesn’t kill you… xo

I was a scrawny four-foot nothing as a kid–had my share of being picked on. I still have nightmares about dodgeball and Red Rover!

I too was very small, and rather shy, retiring and not blessed with courage. Things have changed a little since then.
