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 C Form-Couplet Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance LaFrance 1/15/2022

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

Hello Charles ... bullies next stop to think about the challenges their victims go through in every day life. A good couplet with a solution that happens too often Charles - Lindsay

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

Funny my contest entry will include buying. I'll post it tomorrow. But yours is much better. Seems I've lost my muse. Best for a win.

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

Words can hurt more than anything else, this is so sensitive to that pain, I have known that myself sometimes too~

I couldn't agree more, Charlie. Karma is a *itch! And she will repay those who do not give her respect.

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
