She kneels to the floor, with her heart sewn to her sleeve and lets out the tears that she’s kept hidden underneath. She can’t believe she’s doing it, she’s finally let go, as she feels them leave her eyes she knows she’s got nothing left to show. Her mask started to crack until the foundation wasn’t concealed, she put down her sword and armour and finally her shield. The relief that’s surfing through her body comes as quite a shock, true emotion shining like this isn’t something to mock. She aggressively wipes her cheeks, pulling at her skin, causing her face to blush as her head begins to spin. She’s never shown emotion, always kept it in. Rejected from society, laughed at from the beginning, she still can’t believe it’s happening, her head still wildly spinning. She grasps at her own neck, as if she’s about to choke, now her one true fear is confirmed, every one's laughing, she’s the joke.
She’s always been a punchline, a punching bag to some, they claim it’s just harmless fun but it’s not only just begun. Her life has been a tease, an endless living nightmare and even though she’s finally cracked it still doesn’t seem too fair. She’s looking at her patterned arms, just scar upon scar, even if they were just joking, they’ve clearly gone too far. Accepted is a feeling she’s never had the privilege of feeling, and now she’s hit rock bottom she can’t stop the tears from reeling.
She slyly looks around, to see who is in sight, and repeatedly says “ please not them” as her mind fills up with fright.

Great write... Very well done
Thank you x
MOON CHILD ~ THANK YOU ! You continue to grace our site with poetry that is ~ Personal ~ Poignant ~ Profound and Perfect in its structure. You conceal your poetic prowess in "prose form" but when I read and recite it ~ it explodes with covert rhyme and rhythm so so powerful and moving it always makes me cry tears of emotion and sorrow for all you have suffered in the past ~ you are perfection. BULLYING is Satanic and can reduce a beautiful young lady like you to despair and excruciating self harm. As the blood flows it gives relief but only transient and the scars ~ inside and out ~ remain. You WERE the Joke ~ You WERE the Punchline ~ BUT ~ Praise GOD you have risen above all the pain the hurt and ridicule and become a Healer ~ a Nurse the highest calling ! Poetry is very cathartic and in this poem you have released and shared some of the pain you still bear. We all love you ~ keep caring ~ keep sharing HUGS ~ BRIAN
Thank you very much, I try my best to draw my inspiration not only by things i've experiences but things ive witnessed too, not first hand, i suffered from bullying only minor compared to some but stil had its impact as you can imagine, i was younger and at a more easily influenced age - thank you so much for your positive feedback and reassuring words x
