Stronger than the screen-2025
I logged on, a world so wide,
But the words they threw, I couldn’t hide.
Behind the screen, they didn’t care,
Spreading lies, I felt despair.
The mocking comments, the cruel replies,
Each one a dagger, each one a lie.
Friends who once stood by my side,
Now joined the crowd, and left me to hide.
The pressure built, the pain too much,
The hate online, I could feel its touch.
So I made a choice, to walk away,
To silence the noise, to end the dismay.
I deactivated my accounts, cut the chain,
No more torment, no more pain.
I focused on my life, took back my soul,
Tried to heal, tried to make me whole.
Betrayed by friends I once held close,
Their words like knives, sharp and gross.
But in their leaving, I found my light,
A chance to grow, a chance to fight.
I built myself from pieces torn,
From the silence of the pain I’d worn.
And though they thought I’d fall apart,
I rose again, with a stronger heart.
I found my strength in solitude,
In quiet moments, I found my mood.
The world outside may try to break,
But inside me, there’s nothing they can take.
I came back stronger, wiser too,
No longer a victim, I know what’s true.
The past may sting, but now I see—
It gave me power to just be me.
So let them talk, let them sneer,
I’ve found my peace, I’ve found my cheer.
No more hiding, no more fear,
