A first person account of bullying on the receiving side and its effects speaks rawly in poetic form. Very nice

How Does it Feel?.
arqios said:

The wounds once sharp
now dull— not vanished,
but understood.
Strength came slow,
beneath each bruise,
in the silence where
fear could not last.
You sought power in fists—
I found it in walking away.

Cheeky Missy said:

Where in the world do you get these?! My la! How perfectly horrifying, macabre, ghastly, nightmarish! There\'s no hope of deliverance since the mirror is guilty, no human. Goodnight! What a chilling piece for Monday. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and a terrifying poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I thought I recognized that man. That familiar old cynical smile. That judgmental stare. Nicely done, PL. I really “reflected” on this one.

I always love the unexpected, this added the metaphor to give it double strength and power. To spice it up some rhyme and near rhyme, a dramatic setting and what more could you want? I love how well woven the metaphor is. That of self destruction that has no mercy. A definite fave

That last one is a mystery! 🤣 Round 11 rocked, my friend. Can\'t wait for round 12. And yes, honesty is not always the best policy. 🤣 Well done, my friend. The sun is rockin\' here today, so will do. Hope you enjoy the day as well. 🌹👏

What a fun read, Tobani! Yet filled with absolute wisdom. I can’t help but feel some gathered by the experience of the “hard way.” I know for me they were.

A Caring Smile.
Cheeky Missy said:

Very, very lovely and rather inspiring, a very pretty little number I\'m certain the purveyors of knicknacks should put and grave on all. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a rather tender poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Cheeky Missy said:

You\'re too good. Morsel by morsel, this is a beauty, but of course, and honesty still is the best policy, if I may be pardoned for cheekily disagreeing there, she can just join the Kardashians if it does. Now the air is cleared, poor Meg must have my luck, sadly, as I never ever win anything. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a delightful poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
