Don't let them take your smile
By ColorMeToxic
They may share your name
though they don't deserve to,
but they're
NOT
the same,
and they
DON'T
deserve you.
You have a right to blame,
if you feel the need to...
May they experience shame,
because of how they've hurt you.

I love the symmetry of this, the structure. Perfect in its simplicity.

you're right, one should not have to put up with ridicule from their peers, words hurt just as much and if not more so as a physical blow may your message speak out to your friend and many more-Mrk

Beth - so good to see you back in action, you have been missed. This is right on-target for me with some recent family cat fights concerning who's coming to my youngest daughter's wedding - cheers!
