Don't Be A Bully

Parents teach your children well. My thoughts for today.

 Don't Be A Bully

 
On the outside I may be different
not your cup of tea,
on the inside I am beautiful
if only you could see.
Think before you throw a stone
or hurtful comment my way,
what if it were you that
someone hurt today.
I cannot change how God made me
I'm not a clown in a circus,
beauty lies within, far beyond
what's on the surface.
My soul is precious my heart
can be broken,
by acts of your ignorance 
in words you have spoken.
I hope my message speaks
loud and clear,
and the bullies of this world
may all disappear.
Changing their views from
evil to good,
loving thy neighbor begins in childhood.
Parents teach your children
right,
your voice makes a difference 
so try as you might.
My mother taught me never 
to judge,
harbor anger or carry a grudge.
Don't be a bully you have
nothing to lose,
there might come a day
you walk in my shoes.

 Reviews of "Don't Be A Bully"
Reviewed on March 23, 2014
A very good write with a lot of wisdom and timely message. This reminded me of the time I was a victim of online bullying by another writer who posted a comment on one of my poems on fb, I posted a "thank you" and other writers posted on the comments thread. Unfortunately, this writer started accusing me of "judging her" and "that something was wrong with me" and her posts created animosity where there should be none. In other words, her rant was without basis. My family and my fellow writers reacted and said I should not allow people to abuse me on my page, as there are young people reading it and the words used bordered on "bullying" or making one feel inadequate, low, inferior. I blocked that writer (she writes here too on AD) but I kept a copy of all her comments. Bullying is outright unkindness, it is putting a person down, because you can.
