Troll

"Troll"



The silent
incessant chatter
thick black ooze

jeers and laughter
jolt lightening barbs
slicing a heart in two

the dark undercurrent
pulls a light soul under
while writing life striving revolutionary new

troll smirks suffocating the sands of true 
a new tyrannical rule eviscerates
the mind bleeds red

punched backwards 
into murky clouds of deadly
midnight black and blue

dead

Lady Labyrinth March 13, 2019 at 7:17 AM "Cyberbullying Goals: While trolls try to attract attention to themselves, cyberbullies want to demean and hurt their victims. Trolls are indifferent to the harm their comments may cause. They do not care if their comments cause people emotional distress or not. All they want is a reaction from the community they are trolling. Cyberbullies do not want attention for themselves, but negative attention on their victim. All they want is to cause distress for their victims."
