Bullies

They come in all forms. Some are needy and demand our time and attention. Some want to be rude and boss us around. And some are just plain jealous we are creative and happy. None of them deserve the right to be protected. We all pussyfoot around bullies and let them rule the roost. What's up with that ?!! posted on July 30, 2019

Thanks for being my voice! " we all pussyfoot around them and let them rule the roost. what's up with that? My question, also. People are powerful in ALL sizes and ages. They need to learn to stand up for themselves. Panagiota xoxo

Often the bullies are big pushovers. One growl at them and it's over.

Skillfully written, everyone deserve more respect than they get and everyone should enjoy the experience of knowing someone, instead of instant dislike and bullying. Enjoyed reading, thank you ;0)

Thank you for writing this one, Line. As you know, bullies can have a temporary effect on us. And sometimes with children especially or tender-hearted souls, a permanent effect. Great job, my friend.

Imagine what a world it would be if people decided to put as much energy in dishing out positive energy.

We are better than them, kinder and smarter. Its when we've had enough. Not to mention energy vampires who suck the life out of us!

Well penned Line, sadly it is something that happens especially on social media hence why I don't do 2faced book. I got bullied here when I first joined - someone didn't like my 'poop' poems being more popular than his perfect pentameter. Shame folk just can't accept our difference but there will always be petty jealousies and at the end of the day its very difficult to stand up to bullies I've found out to my cost in my life. Hugs jan xx

To Jan. indeed there are a few bullies here. I caught mine from Australia of all things, that was five months ago, I did not like being threatened, it was terrifying,...Panagiota

Jan, you are a sweetie and I love all your poems...I am not a person to really joke around, but I've learn to accept it because of my sons and my husband. They can not have a conversation without teasing..

These things have a tendency to quickly get out of control. Sorry to hear that, Jan.
