A very insightful poem about bullying, its effects and the complex reasons children sometimes engage in this behaviour.

I cannot emphasise enough how precious these works of understanding are, so please do read and follow this young man.

An important poem about war and the devastating ways in which it haunts children, and so beautifully written.
