Crumb

(Happiness is a warm gun- John Lennon)


When someone CALLED me very dumb 
I felt as tiny as a CRUMB 

I never played those CHILDHOOD games 
That's no reason to CALL me names 

CLEARLY, they all have picked on me 
I'm mentally CHALLENGED, you see 

I go to a COUNSELOR, now 
To CURVE the way I think, somehow  




All those CREEPS, I hate them all- still 
I didn't need a CHILL-OUT pill 

I just needed a CARING friend 
To stop the CRUELNESS- make it end 

Ev'ry day and night, I still CRY 
So, if you all CAN'T wonder why 

My CHOSEN words, with my last breath 
Bullying, is what CAUSED my death

Constance La France Date: 2/2/2022 7:55:00 AM Charlie, thank you for entering this lovely couplet poem in my C-Forms contest, sadly it did not follow the contest requirements, I asked for 2 or more stanzas of 8 lines each using couplets, therefore I could not place it, but it is still a wonderful poem, thanks for your support of my contests ~Constance Login to Reply Charles Messina Date: 2/2/2022 2:04:00 PM Constance, thank you so much for reading and commenting. Next time when I am confused, I will Soup-mail you (lol) ~Charlie

Alexis Y. Date: 1/16/2022 6:58:00 AM WoW! Charlie, You penned such a meaningful, impactful, and insightful piece on bullying. Bullying is not ok at all. As you have expressed so well, some can end their life as a result of it. Bullying of all kinds needs to stop. Best wishes in the contest- Have a great day-Alexis Login to Reply

Paulette Calasibetta Date: 1/15/2022 1:23:00 PM Your C-form couplet reveals a hard truth. Bullying is prevalent in society, causing so much unnecessary pain. Good luck in the contest....looks like a winner to me! :)Paulette Login to Reply

Michelle Faulkner Date: 1/15/2022 12:45:00 PM Words can hurt more than anything else, this is so sensitive to that pain, I have known that myself sometimes too~ Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 1/15/2022 2:22:00 PM I couldn't agree more, Charlie. Karma is a *itch! And she will repay those who do not give her respect. Charles Messina Date: 1/15/2022 12:56:00 PM Aww, sorry Michelle. I think most of us have been bullied by someone sometime in our lives. Don't worry, I believe the bullies will get it in the end. What comes around- goes around. Hugs Charlie
