Love how you format it. Great poem, it's quite deep.

You’ve tackled a tough subject matter. A deep and very emotional one – especially if you’ve been personally affected by it. To come out the other side and actually create something positive from that experience is quite remarkable in its own right. So I think you should be proud of that alone.

Now, more so on the piece itself... Visually, it’s quite something. I can’t see if there is a specific reason behind every choice of placement, emboldening and underlining another then maybe emphasis. Regardless whether there was or wasn’t, it still made me look twice, made me think a little more on your piece as a whole. That makes me consider it a successful feature or at least an interesting one.

You’ve made your topic is quite clear with little abstract comparisons or purple prose style writing which sometimes can be the most frustrating part of poetry. Never really knowing what it’s all about. I say it helps makes the meaning stick more and gives that frank sort of feeling to your piece. It doesn’t sugar coat at all.

It’s free verse, quite fluid, not too flouncy or ridiculously audacious; it’s almost like listening to the internal monologue of the writer as they are traversing through their lives and troubles, muscling on. It’s a style that works well in this case.

Personally, I love a good ellipsis and probably use them far more than I reasonably should however even I’m thinking there’s a slight overkill here. As I was reading your piece like a monologue, I took the punctuation’s use quite seriously.
You know those people that start talking then drift off halfway through as if they’ve forgotten or suddenly become unsure about what they’re saying to you? That’s the impression I was kind of getting here.
True, it could be a reflection of the narrator’s own insecure feelings as a consequence of the bullying and other difficulties. But it still affects the rhythm. If you were to keep the ellipsis, I personally feel it would have to stop by the end of your second verse. By this point, the words seem to pick up, as if gaining the confidence to march onward is building for that all-important last line. So by this point, your tone needs to match this build as well.

All in all, the small essay I seem to have written aside, I’m glad to have read this today. I think you’ve done a nice job here and I hope my review proves useful to you.
All the best,

I like it, there is a very clear meaning though I haven't worked out the significance of the line placement; some in the middle and some on the left... More have I quite got the bold and underlined text. Is it for emphasis?
I feel that you have over used '...' In this poem, if I read it true to form each line dripped and looses energy and my instinct when I first read threw was to ignore them. On a second reading I made sure to have the pauses and it felt droopy and slow rather than the, perhaps, reflective(?) Atmosphere you were going for.
But beyond that, the topic was well put across, one I identify with a large part. Good job.

I'm sorry man, I've been there too. Bully's are the worst, they're a mental fight (or perhaps even physical) that you simply can't win. I always had loads of people cheering me up too, though, and in the end, that's what matters.
