Dumb

they spread rumors
behind my back
viscous attacks 
cant cut me slack
im just a snack 
for the moment 
waiting for it
to be done
would rather be numb 
then feel this dumb

Keisha, , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Free Verse with a few couplets thrown in. An excellent way to show how you feel - "would rather be numb than feel dumb." Take care, RP.
