Again

A Poem by iamshadowine

Why doesn't it stop?

It showed itself up again So many cries, Such enmity,

Why does it happen? Is it compulsory?

Yes, the worst thing showed up,

The only thing everyone fears,

The only word with a devil, Called rumours.

The cries, The worries, The taunts, Everything is there,

But none to stand this time.

Devils are so careless,

They forgot it could take a life.

I thought theft was a crime,

But I was wrong, when I heard it was for need Never knew rumours were worse,

When heard that they were for greed.

She cried

And her wrists

Blood stained.

Words definitely hold a strong power, and rumors can cause incredible pain. What I think makes this poem stand out are the lines "Devils are so careless / They forgot it could take a life" and the contrast between the "crime" of theft for need and the crime of spreading rumors. The final three lines are also powerful. Nice work on this!

"It takes enough courage to live without a reputation," Gone with the Wind. Sure, words hurt and people are cruel or kind. It's up to us how we take it. These words will be a lesson and a blessing out of it. We learn from examples, but people also change. But in short, words aren't to be taken for granted and strewn around freely as they have a huge impact on people.
