Labels Hurt

I've been struggling The world is all so new to me I'm growing up and it's often baffling I love you can't you see I'm just a kid yet often lines are crossed and blurred You shout labels I listen to your every word I often don't feel loved or heard Little by little my confidence is crumbling AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on June 9, 2019 for contest WRITING CHALLENGE, JUNE 2019 CRUMBLING RHYME sponsored by DEAR HEART - RANKED 3RD

Very insightful poem. "You shout labels I listen to your every word" ...verbal abuse is such a silent crumbling force. Well deserved win, Line.

Well done, Line , and congrats on your win. If I did not tell you yet, I am going to my dad's funeral today. My sister is on the way to pick me up in her car any time now. So that is why you probably won't see me around till Saturday! Have a good week!
