Brute In the Mirror

The minute I get out of bed So much clutter in my head Dangling precariously by a thread How the hours of restful sleep have sped Once midnight tears all shed Morning hours awake I dread Needing to deal with strife instead When ever so lightly I must tread After hurtful things were said Targeted rumors so widespread People unscrupulously misled I plan to put up a front and forge ahead AP: 1st place 2020 Posted on March 12, 2019

Courage...there will always be those who spread rumors; they don't have to control our lives though...Courage.

Line, great write, at work there were horrible rumors always, each day about this person and that person, and probably me, it is was horrible, so happy I left that scene ~

Nothing worse than ugly rumors. Karma takes care of settling the score.

Which is my wake up call I have to get up in 4.5 hours. So glad I ran across this one Line. Targeted rumors are awful.
