Kick A Dog When They're Already Down

... words just words, right,
not bricks, not stones: then why do I
feel like I've been beaten to a pulp? ....


Poem Artwork


Don't know why I let things get to me.
Take today:  words just words, right,
not bricks, not stones:  then why do I
feel like I've been beaten to a pulp?

Don't always use my cane around the
complex; depends on if it's a good day
or bad.  Accused of using the system,
of wanting people to feel sorry for me.

Yelled at in front of neighbors; embarrased;
how dare you kick a dog when they're already
down?  Words thrown smash me to the
ground, adding to the pain I am in ...

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (9/18)

...much hope and sadness...in the world of a cane...many stories to be told from its support...when things seem a bit down...if you can...just grab the cane...and keep walking.

Karla, What we all see is the small percentage of our society who have no love nor soul. The vast majority of us see you as not only our equal, but as gifted by God. Your words touch others much more than the nasty actions of the few touch you. You don't seek nor get our sympathy, you get our joy, our prayers and our respect.
Stay strong, Glen

The world very sadly contains many soul less human beings today, who don't even think twice about kicking a downed dog or even a fellow human being. I truly wonder where we went wrong, but ya can't let 'em get ya down.

Karla, humanity always finds it easier to condemn, than lift up, the key is you are so beautiful to your Father, and to those that love you, it's up to you to remeber that, and let all know how blessed you are to have you name written in the book of life, through a countenance of joy. Rock

Karla little do they know as they are putting you down, they are only showing their own disability, which tells us they are rude, ignorant and heartless, Just walk away dear one and try to smile and I pray that you have more days when you don't need to get about with the cane.

They know not "how" they do. Their tribulation will be severe for what goes around comes around. They will be haunted by their mistakes. Hang in there!

It's a reflection of themselves and their inner programming.
Feel sorry for the likes, they know no better, being full of such negative emotions has damaged them. Never let what other think destroy your peace of mind. Even in such an oppressive atmosphere you have the inner freedom of truth, never let social evils touch you, stay within the spring of peace, compassion and love

The cane should be use as a support and to hit the head of the accusing jerks that will one day protest that there are too many wheelchairs around.
Cheer up girl, spit them in the eye.

Don't let ignorance add to your pain. Block out their words. When you can't do that, pretend you don't hear. Some people just don't know any better.

I dont always use my leg braces either, and I have been accused of the same thing, but I remember Jesuses words turn the other cheek you are in my prayers, try and ignore the idiots who think they know it all, you are in my prayers.

Words, they beat me up when I'm already having a rough day. Know the feeling, but let me at em, let me at em.
People are just so insensitive - walk a mile in my shoes, then [and only then] ... maybe.

Always remember the abuse Jesus bore, the cruel insults shouted at Him. You are learning more about His sufferings by your own.
And HE knows all about yours and cries for your pain, emotional and physical.
I'm so sorry for what you have to endure.

Karla, having been on disability myself for 9 years, I can relate to the ignorance of others. Do you know how I deal with it? I tell myself that until they're in my shoes (and they will be, nobody stays disease or disabled free for their entire lifetime), then they know absolutely nothing of my illness. You have to be strong for YOU Karla!
Take care,
Laura

It is hard to ignore those things that affect us deeply. It is probably more the spirit in the words than the words themselves that affect you. They get into us, they churn, we react, we cringe, we get angry and want to retaliate, we withdraw to protect ourselves - we are delicate creatures that misunderstand each other quite easily. Your sensitivities, dear Karla, are your greatest asset, and probably the most abused.
Blessings ...

Karla,

If I were you, I'd tell the man's wife about his actions; there is no call for such abuse. Words DO hurt; you and I both know that from experience. I hope he gets what he deserves: a good kick in the pants. He's nothing but a bully, and you are better, much better than he will EVER be. I hope things improve for you; you are in my prayers, sweetie!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

That's horrible, but I am not surprised it seems that our world is becoming less and less loving. We share our most intimate things to some and we don't even so much as hear a reply! let alone, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Uncaring people who only care about themselves. I am sorry that you had to endure this today Karla, truly, God Bless, love Holly
