Image result for live by the sword die by the sword meaning

It seems to me that my life has been a war, since a little girl I have held a warning sword; all sorts of bullies I have had to endure, and loneliness has been my sweet reward. My sword is not a dagger but my words, and I have learned to make them flow; I can make my words fly like mighty birds, and as I write tears come and overflow. Will life always involve a sword of protection; and will there always be a war and a rejection? ____________________________ December 9, 2019 Poetry/Rhyme/Living By The Sword Copyright Protected, ID 19-1206-538-02 All Rights Reserved.

WoW! BW, I see why you got the top spot. I too was bullied and bullying is not acceptable. Most bullies got bullied too. When does the cycle end? Some one must stand up against up against and say , the cycle ends here. Take a bow because that is what you are doing in the form poetry. Congratulations on getting top spot, it was well deserved. Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Alexis, thanks for visiting my poem and for the compassion, I have learned that there are bullies in every stage of life, no getting away from them it seems, but it is how you handle them that matters, thank you for the congratulations.

I despise bullies, i think they are the scum of the earth, especially the hypocritical ones...I think yes and yes to your questions... not always to the same person, but someone will always suffer from it... great take on the contest.. Congratulations on your first place.
