Notice of absence from arqios
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…
Now you understand how beneath the layers
Bullies wrap their pain in a shroud of spite,
Their anger is a wildfire masking a burning wound.
And you, bearing your own silent wounds,
Learn to see beyond the jeers and sneers,
You stand unwavering, not just a target.
Finding true strength in empathy,
A quiet power in your gentle heart,
As you walk through the halls:
The echoes of taunts fade away,
Replaced by a sense of resolve,
A determination to rise above;
To be more than their words,
To break free from the shadows,
And finally let your spirit soar.

Have always believed that people do the best they can with what they have to work with at that moment and in so doing pity the bully rather than hate. Pity is a more powerful weapon than hate. A great poem with good advice to those that feel victimized
Now there’s something to mull on, the power of pity, which isn’t usually on the table. 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
This is very true. Of course, when one is being bullied, it is hard to see all of that nuance. The truth is that hurt people hurt other people. It's what we tend to do, sadly. A well-written poem, my friend. Profoundly wise.🙏❤️
Thank you so much Tristan 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
You are welcome! 😊
Excellent write
Thanks Tony
You're welcome
I guess bullying comes in all shapes and sizes and as someone who suffered a lot this when young i can connect with this writing. It took a long time to find the strength to rise above it, but i eventually came to the conclusion that they had more insecurities and fear inside of them than i did and i learnt that they can control me physically, but they could never control what goes on in my head. Nice to see a piece like this as it still so relevant even today, Thank you
Indeed it does, thank you.
You are very welcome
Sage words for the downtrodden .. excellent .. Neville
Cheers N 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
I am old enough now that all my bullys are dead.That's the secret to life.Live longer than your bullys.Bullys are just impotent .Excellent poem enjoyed
Good stuff DWa, thanks kindly 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
A determination to rise above
That takes much courage but is the only way to deal with the situation. Stand up to them, then they will go elsewhere. Much wisdom in your fine words arqios.
Thank you Cassie 🙏🏻🕊
Wonderful words arqios, may that Spirit soar forever.

Loved the concept of empathy
Thank you safina 🙏🏻🕊
always welcome..have a good day
Anger seeded by taunts, but then "Replaced by a sense of resolve,". I think you have this figured out.. Well done.
That’s quite the long and short of it, it would seem 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊
Yep, both are victims.
Indeed! Hence the necessity of Salvation.
It's the goodness of God...
