My third day here at Hello Poetry
and I've encountered one already.
I know, I know … they're everywhere …
painfully, woefully steady.

Nine-hundred posts and more …
He parades around as a poet.
But to read his prose in the English language …
you'd swear that he doesn't even know it.

He says that I have everything wrong
and that “We know that God is right".
I've no idea about anything at all, he claims,
but it's this “We” who is starting the fight.

His "We" attacks my words, my themes
and even my beliefs.
Instead of offering help or praise,
"We" slings only grief.

I've seen his type all over the world …
a sad and cowardly sod.
Nothing more than a lonely Troll (read: bully)
trying to hide behind God.

When I tell him that I'm blocking him from my sector,
he doesn't behave like any Pastor …
Instead "His Holiness" sends an all-telling message ...
calling me a “*******”.

He doesn't even know my parents.

Isn't that a hoot?

Yikes!
That was quick, he found me fast! My first here ... and hopefully ... the last.
I do feel sorry for them, in my way. But being lonely or insecure is no excuse for terrorizing others. My pet peeve of all bullies though, are the one's who act all self-righteous and judgmental in the name of "God" in an attempt to keep you from returning fire or even standing up to them.
That ... is simply pathetic.

You
You drag everyone down
And you don’t even bat an eye when doing it

This is your hobby; it’s what you’re good at
By doing this, it makes you more prideful

I’ve never known such a cowardly human

You might be quick to talk behind ones back
But you’d never say it to their face

Because you’re too scared

I try my best to be nice to you
But
there’s only so much kindness you can give
To someone such as you
You best believe I could say worse, but then I’d be as low at them.

You told me you know you lost me forever
Because it wasn't you
Kissing me on that train

But you paved the way to lose me
when you pushed me away
When you hurt me
again and again

You led yourself to lose me
when you didn't kiss the wounds you made
When you never even tried to apologize
You lost me in dishonesty

You lost me when you told your ex we were over,  
before I left
You lost me when you lied
You lost me in your disrespect

You continued to lose me every time you disappeared
You lost me in your selfishness
And in your spiritless attempts to mansplain
how you miss me

To build me up
just to ignore me
and stab my bleeding heart
The heart I am kissing back to life

You lost me when you never
came after me
And when you didn't make an effort
to bring me home

You lost me when you weren't there for me
when I needed you most

You lost me when you took your hurt out on me
You lost me in the hurt you inflicted on my soul
You lost me when I finally had the strength to leave
You lost me by doing nothing
when I did

You lost me in your inner pain
You lost me when you let that pain
turn you into a monster
You lost me when you let that monster
turn you into a coward

You lost me by stonewalling me
when I opened my heart
to your pain

You lost me because you don't care
more than an inch in front of you
You lost me because you say you do care
You lost me because your words bare no meaning
anymore
