Fueling Fire

On the Subject of Bullying, specifically bullying/abusing someone and focusing more on their reaction than your action.

One day I will break,

and it will be ugly,

And I will revel in it.

____________________________________________________

I will absorb the power

Like fuel to the flames,

Because I have taken in too much fuel.

____________________________________________________

You held the torch,

Set it against the wood,

Let your eyes sparkle in its glow.

____________________________________________________

You cannot feed fuel to a fire,

Then cry out when it burns your house down.
