Trapped on an Island Surrounded by Sharks

What is this cold, unbreaking rod?
That whips my back, does poke and prod
The eyes of man do leer and laud
While verbal assaults are met with applaud

A gentle soul, berated and stamped
Their joy is torn and turnt and tamped
And mind enclosed by grip and clamp
Crippled core becoming cramped

Hyenas howl and stones are cast
While wolves circle and rats amassed
The harrowed heard of helpless aghast
Finally succumbing to the thoughts that have passed

Author's Note
This is not of my own experience, merely a representation of empathic thoughts I have. Nobody likes to be bullied. Words carry more weight than most people realize, as the saying goes "the pen is mightier than the sword". Think before you speak. Connections can be kept as long as a bridge remains, but when a bridge is burnt a chasm lies in between.
