Domineering, authoritative, take charge folk they are
but mean, spiteful, vindictive as well.
You're seldom near them without suffering hurt,
more often psychic or emotional then physical.
Lying – suffering – on the virtual gurney
it's hard to sense weakness in the bully.
Truth be told, though, her hurt's deeper, more devastating
than yours. She'd mock you, pillory you with invective,
to prevent your sensing what she can't accept.
She's a wounded animal, life-lacerated,
reverting to survival skills honed, polished,
to disguise her scars, to draw first blood
so you'll never grasp
hurt people hurt people.
