lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

Hidden deep in the wires
At the back of your monitor
Hatred cowardly awaits
It's next victim.
Masked by a user name
Words pass onto your screen
From their thoughts to your eyes.
Listed as your friend all the while
Luring you to believe their lies
Calling you stupid, ugly and mean
Telling you that people hate you
And laugh as they spew
The unkindest of words
Like a cobra spitting its venom.
You cry with unanswered why's,
But you never say a word to anyone.
A real friend wouldn't do this to you
Or anyone they consider a friend, yet
Behind closed doors unknown to
The outside world unfriendly words
Cut like knives and bleed us
To the point of acceptance.
Devastated by their hateful tongue
You tend to keep it to yourself
Hoping they'll take them back
And everything will be okay.
Because no one else should hear this,
I'll take the belt whipped words
Across my heart, through my mind
And bury them deep in my soul.
Days go by unnoticed
Nights become harder to get through
Weeks seem to take forever to end
Months later I'm practically invisible.
But then someone noticed
Something was very wrong
I was slowly fading away
Until I was rescued with these words:
"These haters can't touch you
Their words are nothing but lies
You're not what they claim you are
Never let anyone speak negatively of you
In any way, shape or form
You're smart, beautiful, kind and loved."
Soon things began to change.
Darkened days became lighter
With each one that passed
Nights became easier to get through
Months later I'm happier than before.
Time has seamlessly returned me
Back to where I needed to be
All because someone caught me
Before I fell victim to a bully
From behind the screen.
Never be afraid to speak out
Against anyone who's hurting you.
Bullying is unacceptable.

This is magnificent! Every stanza was heart felt... People don't realize the impact that they can have on a person's life and the damage that hateful words and sayings can cause.. Thank you for sharing this Gem Ms. Ladypoet45!

Thank you so very much KQD. I appreciate your support. Our tongues are the strongest weapon we possess. We have to use them for more good than the world does for evil. We've got to put an end to the cycle.

Fly and Eloquent Public Service Announcement (PSA) for real....much respect....as was recently bellowed by a bully solver: "Bullies get bullied on my block"....so always beware....there is always someone bigger, badder, angrier or even real(er) out here (winks) RESPECT

Thank you 2b, Kids these day are faced with so much more than before. anytime a child even feels like they have no other choice but to take their lives, then something has been seriously wrong for some time and we need to pay more attention to it and be proactive about it, Thank you for your kind words and for the read. Peace and blessings my friend!
