The Rash

It’s been said I’m unimaginative but I don’t really care I don’t write for the groupies of the one with no hair I try to spread awareness of the lies you think are true We’re sick and tired of bullies there is too much hate inside of you We don’t appreciate the trolling it’s really just that simple If your head gets any bigger it’s going to pop just like a pimple Cuts will always heal with a couple of well-placed stitches The Soup just needs a salve to heal this rash that always itches

Mark, You write....THAT'S the key! You post poetry, while those who don't, keep buzzing around the site like mosquitoes. They keep trying to pester us, but I don't let them annoy me any more.

It's quite sad and pathetic that they don't use this site for what it was intended. Some people make themselves feel better by bringing sadness to others. When those little bugs come buzzing and they land close enough I just give them a good swat. Thanks for stopping by my stoop Jenna!

I am with Lindsay, Mark! Bullies are just everywhere. Even in day to day life. Let them be, find the few who cherish you...we don't need a stadium. No good poet demands a huge audience. You are doing very well, Mark...enjoy life. Pangie xx

G’day Mark … perched behind a keyboard is the modern day bullies defence. It’s best to ignore the pests if possible. A wise poem indeed Mark - thank you - Lindsay

I replied to you earlier and now it’s gone. Another glitch I guess. I ignore them until they go after women. Then I’m all in, I was raised to stand up for people and go against bullies
