It’s Blue Monday so this poem is dedicated to all the organisations, bosses, colleagues, and other individuals who never quite graduated from playground bullying. Remember your words and behaviour have consequences……

There is a strange peace
In knowing the day;
The day that the pain
will be going away,
When the bullies will stop
their unending campaign,
No more victim to taunt,
No more victim to shame,
They can no longer rob me
of my money for food,
or threaten or hurt me,
or dampen my mood,
It is almost all over
and I’m almost free,
No longer a slave,
to their insatiable greed.
