Rumour

Rumours, as close as a heart,
Deadlier than tumours,
They attack to a victim,
Hurl them down
It can hurt anyone, 
even when they are in town,
It follows them everywhere,
Screaming out loud,
"Your a disgrace!
Your parents shouldn't be proud!"
But these are just rumours,
Harmless you think,
They are deadlier than tumours,
And I've had enough of it!

Thank you Debx, I really appreciate this kind comment and you are so right, bullying and rumours ruin people's lives and it is horrid to see how badly to it affects people, because alot of people don't know how it feels.
