Was going to call this,
A touch of frost.
Think that's already taken.


WINTER DAYS

Summers coming,
Heard the bluebells ring.
From the very start.
Not easy to think of such things,
When you have a frozen heart.

Cannot see insecuritys,
The legacy of the mind.
Cannot let them in,
Bullying lasts a life time.

Winter days my solace,
No one comes to call.
Used to waste my days,
No one cares at all.

Bullying a funny thing,
Don't want to go out.
Don't want to stay in,
I'm a agoraphobic, 
Claustrophobic.
What ever I do
there's no win.

There's no hope,
No sun no rays.
Even if I was a kleptomaniac,
I couldn't steal myself away.

Letting people in hurts,
pretending to be your friend. 
That's when the stabbing start's.
Think I prefer my winter days,
As much as my frozen heart.

Unfortunately too familiar with the effects of bullyism... as your words demonstrate, it can have a life-long kind of effect, in fact. What you express about it in this poem really pinpoints the consequences of such bad treatment on someone's life. It's a sad truth which you worded very touchingly. Thanks for sharing and I'm sorry to learn it was your experience.
