Words Hurt

February 17, 2013

Bullying poem

You should know, bullying hurts.
It starts with one word, one word you blurt.
Fat, ugly, worthless. These are the words they hear.
Did you know, your their biggest fear?

Day by day you torment them,
it takes so long for their hearts to mend.
All they ask for is one true friend,
but you make them want their lives to end.

Everyday they wake up with regret,
all they want to do is forget.
It's not just hitting and punching, it's the words you say,
they hurt so much, they want to fade away.

This is when enough is enough,
they're sick of playing strong, sick of playing tough.
But they know they can make it through,
you may not have known, but they always knew.

They put on a fake smile and pretend they're okay,
they believe they can make it all the way.
Of course your words still offend,
but they have been pieced back together again.

Someone leaves the crowd and lends them a hand,
they learn that it's time to stand.
Their smile is no longer fake,
now they have no reason to ache.

You see, all they ever needed was a friend,
someone to stand by them when the bullying came again.
Now they are free,
the insults barely sting, don't you see?

The bully is never wanted, unless wanted to leave,
The person you bullied now has no need for long sleeves.
Your work here is done, not that it should of started,
now who's the one who feels broken hearted?

Bullying gave you power, that they refused to give,
you can't help but wonder ''what if''.
What if they didn't get so strong?
What if they were crumbled all along?

What you don't think of, is what could of been,
what if they pulled the razor to their skin?
What if you pushed them too far,
to where they tied a rope around their collar.

What if they wrote down all the secrets they had to spill,
right before taking an overdose on the pills?
You don't know what could of been done,
you were doing it all for fun.

You think they're losers, but they're stronger than you,
have you seen what they've been through?
With your words you gave a black eye,
they are leaving, bully, so say your goodbye.

But one more thing before you go,
did you enjoy my little show?
Remember, words can hurt more than the punch,
Believe me now? Cause this was just a hunch.

….•*•.¸¸. ♥ 

I made this poem because I wanted to show how I felt about bullying. Some of my close friends were bullied and I wanted everyone to know what its like to be bullied.

    before words born….there is or was a thought….. and a feeling of experience of creation. nada brahma…….. an example for enoising or bullying: if many preach or do nothing…..to just one soul or person…..it is bussy and stressed…….as a human…… and if every word hurts or let me bleed in the conscioussnes of each other…..it will be a mix of emotions of….what?

    ..and if something or someone hurt……there is a resonance……of each fractal or part or unit(y) of the creation of god of this universe….there are so many dfrnt planetary systems. why it hurt? because the soul feel there is something dissonant. but is this your individual aura what send and receive or from whom? make your own master or soulplan in resonance with the cosmic laws. if not…the master said….are u u or am i u?

    Sorry your having bad nightmare, but it time to tell to ease the pain an suffering they cause you! If not then will be in pain forever! You must take a stand let those who has been hurt join your cause! Change your style of living scream! Dammit! scream! to be heard! To breath again to feel safe, I know there is no happy ending, but you can make it happen, call a peace of mind where you don't have the look over your shoulders anymore.

    Teach children mental toughness if possible. Victimization is a mutual agreement only to the degree that one allows anothers thoughts to invade ones own thoughts. Taking ownership of ones own mind can be both self learned and liberating. Liberating to the extent that it frees us from others mean mangling and mental manipulation.

    YES BULLYING DOES HURT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE IT, THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE BULLIES, IF YOU FIND PLEASURE BY MAKING SOMEONE HURT, LOOK INSIDE YOU AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU'RE INSECURITIES ARE FIX THEM, SPEND THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY TOWARDS OTHERS ONTO YOURSELF.

    Bullying hurts even more when you take a stand to defend yourself and/or someone else being bullied, then get punished for it by someone else above you in status. SHAME on the last-mentioned!

    Words do hurt. It's like being wounded so deeply in your heart mind and soul. That you grow up to believe it and it blocks your ability. Till one day you really fine possitive surroundings that lead you to believe in yourself.

    Sticks and stones will cause me pain,
    But that is in vain,
    For I welcome it,
    But words and slurs,
    May break me,
    Kill me, you see
    For I do not welcome them,
    The thorn on the stem,
    Of this beautiful rose,
    But i will not say a word,
    I will keep the silence,
    And then try to fly like a bird…

    A bully has a self esteem and paranoia issues, thus the need to deprecate their fellows. More a case of pity, unless they become violent that is.

    This is an amazing work. It should be shared throughout schools from grade school up. Bullying has cost my daughter many years of attempted suicides and intensive therapy. I fear that she will never recover from the pain and one day we will actually lose her to it. You have an amazing talent…don't ever let that go.

    I agree. Jendhamuni Sos is participating in the evolution of human consciousness.  Bullying is the sleep side of consciousness.  It challenges us to wake up to the truth of who we are.  It is the most difficult thing we will ever accomplish.  As long as we are breathing regardless of what we have gone through, we can accomplish waking up.

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
