You endure the pain of laboring words from your insides
Like giving birth to a new life
Bare your whole soul and let them bleed into a piece of paper
And this process repeats over and over and over
But then your precious child was stolen
You're slowly eaten by anger, your teeth gritted
You're reminded of the emotions you put into creating that child, including the pain
You want to vent the anger, your hands shaking
But you cannot do anything but to punch in the wind
Though your patience is weighing thin
You felt molested, violated
You're just hoping they wouldn't forget about the rule that is golden
“Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.”
― Confucius
So this is how it feels to be plagiarized. I know my poem was just appreciated, that was why it was copy-pasted and posted, but you can re-post a poem or like it if you really appreciate it. Not in that "copy-paste" way. I hope no one will ever do that again to a co-poet. And I hope we, here in Hello Poetry, as well as the administrators of the site, can do something about plagiarism.
