Again

Why doesn't it stop? 

It showed itself up again So many cries, Such enmity,

 Why does it happen? Is it compulsory? 

Yes, the worst thing showed up,

 The only thing everyone fears,

 The only word with a devil, Called rumours.

 The cries, The worries, The taunts, Everything is there,

 But none to stand this time.

 Devils are so careless,

 They forgot it could take a life.

 I thought theft was a crime,

 But I was wrong, when I heard it was for need Never knew rumours were worse,

When heard that they were for greed. 

She cried

 And her wrists 

Blood stained.

Sounds like a cutter has just slit her wrist the worst feeling a dad can have is when his child is so sad troubled times have passed for me she has grown up and has family that I love and respect every day I forgive what was and thank my Lord for better days.

Such an emotional piece. Words can hurt more than people think. I like the ending. "And her wrists/Blood stained." Really packs all of the emotion she feels in just those two lines. Powerful ending.

That form of bullying and known retribution can collide with melted feelings of angst, a most powerful piece, well done, good read.

Yes rumours are a form of bullying, cruel taunts that sometimes lead to tragedy. You captured this well in your poem.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Whoever wrote that is a liar, words hurt and cause more pain. Beautifully written.

Rumors can indeed cause all that. We often speak without verifying that what we are saying is correct or not.

thank you! :D
