Some are young, some are older, some I can't tell
But what they do have in common is that they can't spell
They are quick to offense, quick to lambaste you
They are lacking in substance, and they think it's gone past you
They play little games with the goal to incite you
Take the bait; then they tattle; they just want to spite you
So you back off, you wither, you no longer speak
Because fighting the good fight has just left you weak
So you leave it to them, your world they inherit
When all along you would have been willing to share it.

Pushing buttons in the threads
for some who play
it is the trend.

Learn from the pushers,
grow, and maintain.
Analyze the button,
it'll help you stay sane.

Look at it as a moment of growth,
how to state your point without
ripping another down and maintaining
respect.

I haven't read you in that many threads hiker, so I'm not sure what all you're going through, but I do recognize that frustration level of trying to maintain a realness of self, yet not stomp the crap outta somebody who seems to be intentionally obtuse to get a free willy pithing contest going.......

you got it babe. It's a struggle.

But I do know that some of the best people on this entire site have chosen to be my friends..chosen to be kind and supportive..and the others - I guess they don't matter.

that is all so true hiker I've felt that frustration many times. Thanks for speaking it in poem.


Tiff

I love you poetry forum people. Such kindness!

who ever it is they don't seem worth it.when they try to beat you down just step out of the way, but never give up your world or your souls state of being

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sit a spill have some coffee just made a fresh pot,,

To be honest this question I must ask. Is it really worth
fighting a battle against those that really don't have
and ammo to fight with?

Sometimes we must sit back and realize some things are not worth fighting about. And leave it for them to fight among each other. Why let them bring you down to there level? In the end no one wins.

See within our world we don't fight here instead we listen and comment instead. Be it good or bad we are not her to take you down.

You are so right. I see no windmills to tilt at here. Only decent folk.
