Edit Poem

Editing Instructions

 Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do not put your name, please put as the following:
<!--EDITED by moderators on (Date) for (reasons).-->
DO NOT remove the line break ( <br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof) between <!--    and     --> (ie. <!--    POEM TEXT HERE     -->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the <!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".



Down for the count Everybody knows a boxer would love to keep fighting
to be the one to throw the final winning punch
but sometimes they get K. Oed

The winner of the match doesn't claim
that they didn't mean to hit them that hard
and nobody questions their choice to accept defeat

So why is it okay for you to keep emotionally punching me
even when I'm already obviously on the ground
and then tell me that I should suck it up, that it didn't hurt

I guess the rules are different here because
when you think about it, it wasn't really a fair fight
I didn't really have a good strategy to defend myself

Still even though the bruises are no longer visible
doesn't mean you can look me in the eyes
and act like we both don't know what happened

Notes


While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
