Torn Down

"Yet is it so funny, when you make people suicide?"

Pointing out our every flaw,

Pointing out our every mistake,

Gloating at us from behind wooden fences.

Pointing at us with razor sharp nails,

Staring at us with darting hawk's eyes,

Whispering about our every imperfection.

Putting us down with your nasty words,

Killing us all, inside then out.

Hurting us to the point of non-existence.

Tearing us apart, from flaw to flaw,

Hitting and kicking at our every emotion,

Ruining our reputation, just for the fun of it.

Ruining children's innocence,

Staining their minds with words never to be repeated,

Damaging a child's proper childhood.

Deflating people's self-esteem,

Hurting other's pride.

Making others walk away, to a place thought to be better.

Making us feel so worthless,

Controlling our brains, our perceptions of ourselves.

Torturing us some more, because it is 'fun'.

Taunting, teasing, yelling and bullying,

All in the name of 'playground fun'.

Yet is it so funny, when you make others suicide?

Everyone should understand that no one is perfect and no one can hurt you unless you allow them to. We all have our flaws, but only WE have the power to change and/or accept them. I try to be the best I can every day, but not for the world...for myself because that's all that matters. As long as you understand yourself and accept the way you are inside and out, then you'll be okay.

Some people are stronger than others... And I'm one of the weaker ones! I try not to let others hurt me, but it's not easy, and I've long since given up on hiding. Very true. Inspirational. Thankyou!!! xxx

WOW this was a powerful piece.



Sounds so much like the devil Mocking
and making fun of others saying they will
never amount to anything and they're worthless
that is what he does sadly.



You describe the devil to a T here

and I know this maybe for ones that
are bullied and then kill themselves
over it I am so tired of the devil taking
the innocents and pushing them down.


But all we can do is try in be there for the
ones that are experiencing it Show them love
and tell them that we care that they're beautiful
the devil strips us of everything he is the true bully
in our lives.



Thank you for sharing this Heart wrenching
and powerful piece and for your kind review and comments
you left on my page.




God Bless. I hope you're having a lovely night. Benita

Thankyou! Yes, a nice and different interpretation of this poem! One that does ring true, because the Devil IS truly the bully in everyone's life. Bullies, as well as victims of bullying, because they wouldn't BE a victim if they controlled their thoughts differently. If I controlled my thoughts differently, if the Devil didn't get to me at all. Thankyou for this nice review! xxx

Thankyou, I hope you're having/ you have an amazing night tonight too :)
