Identity–The Bully
They all try to look the same all try to give themselves a name pick on the boy who is all alone just because his identity is his own what has this world come to? all this wrong that people do just for the image they want to show down the evil path they seem to go
The next person you go to hurt or try to make feel like dirt instead of trying to look cool feel for the guy you make look a fool
A cool identity isn’t a need let those you bully be freed Your identity should be your own A better person you will be known.
This poem addresses the bully personally and attempts to get him (or her) to try feeling empathetic for once towards the object of their derision. The writer also wants the bully to know that bullying doesn’t give you a “cool identity”. In fact, you really have no identity when you engage in bullying.

Inspirational and uplifting, Mark Bird’s poem “A Different Path” should be included in any collection of poems about bullying. By pointing out that being a victim does not mean you have allow yourself to be a victim, Bird’s shows that bullies might think they are in control but it is really the person getting bullied who maintains control over their lives.
A Different Path
They pick on you Play tricks on you They talk behind your back A hundred whispers to your one To tempt you from your track
They mock your path They block your path They do it every day For sheep aren’t meant to wander off And go the other way
They sneer at you Put fear in you So scared that you’ll go far And then they point and laugh at you To cram your head with scars
They think the same They shrink the same When you are not afraid And friends begin to follow you The scars and bullies fade
You go so far You grow so far Proud what you became You made it down the different path And beat the plague of same
