Playing the Hurt Victim


             Playing the Hurt Victim
                  
                5/27//2025

People really, really don’t care!
They want a poet with the strength of a agrizzly bear.

Grown-up people, oh yes, we all get hurt feelings,
Stop blaming others, it leaves us all reeling.

Nobody, but nobody can ruin who you are!
You are God’s own special poetic star.

Stop sucking your adult poetic thumb,
No actions by others can make you dumb.

Practice humility and glorious gratitude,
Be the winner you are, with a forgiving attitude!

Pen a poem, that sings of your God’s glory,
Be an inspiation, disappear your victim story.!

Hey john, I don’t know how you refer to victims in the UK. I onnce was a vivtim, that means one who blames life for their failings. I took a confrontational seminar And found out it was me ruining my life. Nobody else. My life has shifted since.life is the only game in town. Pangie x

Hello Anne! You got that right! It was for all poets here, including myself.. at first I thought it was a silly poem, and then I looked at it again, and I realized it was not. Those last two lines if you don’t get it, you should not write here.. I don’t mean you I mean any of us. Thank you Ann! Pangie..

Wowzer of a comment, Elema, Gracias.sure, we all get hurt feelings now and the, i say, grow up, get over it!easier said, than done, for sure, the world support victims. I don’t mean real victims I mean people who like to think they’re victims to get other people sorry for them.. I personally think stinks, find some good poetry that will back you to grow up. That’s all that I meant. I am hardly a wise person here. Sure I have knives in my back, but so what…I keep writing.. And the small poetry will stop reading you. They think they’re punishing you when in fact, they’re punishing themselves and proving themselves to be how small they really are.. don’t do that. Communicate with other people and disagree with them so what?. This is not a playground for children Many thanks Pangie,

Exactly, Darlene! Vest to let go and let God. That ONE time reoccurs over and over in different ways, its best we know that. Because victims harm other innocent good peole, liketheir friends, it us a destructive way to live. Vest we all recall…let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I have yet to meet meet a saint. Non forgive,ness is very painful forthe overly righteous. Wise comment, hugs Pangie

Hello, Linda.you are always a bright light in my life..and really appreciated. I had no idea how this poem would come across. You and Karen, are poets of fun and depth. My daughter, said” its the number of REAders that are tHE accurate read. Not numbers commentors. Not all have time to comment all day. In my case, I am limited to only so much time/ day to be online..I am not complaining! Life is grand plus+ and quite blessed!..hugs..Pangie.

Wow, Karen.. a big hug and thank you for the FAV.Many are taught to suck thumbs. How far can one go, when limping? Only the strong learn to let go, like you…and your recent loss. Its easier to blame, what a shame! Hope your days are filled with goals and dreams coming to fruition. You are the real deal! Hugs, Pangie
