Why do you find need to slander my name?
I suppose it’s to hide your own shame-
For we are not so different, you and I-
Yet still you choose to inflict pain with a lie…

Why do you tell others things that are not true?
Maybe it is so that they will think better of you-
And in doing so you can make me feel less-
Although I know this is just my own guess…

Timid people often use offensive words to speak-
For they are cowards, they know that they are weak-
And it matters not the anguish they may cause-
As they find in themselves very few flaws…

Now these few words to you I will submit-
Speak softly about things that one may transmit-
For all who know you find reason to have fear-
This is something that has been made clear…

It is sad that some people lack the confidence to
be happy with who they are and thus feel it necessary
to lie about others in order to make themselves
look better. A bit of a run on sentence there, but you get
my meaning, yes?
Great poem Joe. Perfectly said!

I have been a notch and it is not a pleasant thing. You build a big wall which will be hard to bring down. Sad part, I was only one of many. I worry less about words and more about hearts that are broken into shards and lives put in disrepair. Weak is the person who hurts others with these well-aimed darts.
