Hater Comments Designed to Maim

Anthony33 Comments

Haters will hate

So the adage says

The ill will they propagate

Can last for days.

–

Using inflammatory words

They viciously strike you

Though their reasoning is absurd

They have nothing better to do.

–

We all work hard as we write

Our efforts on virtual parchment, blood

Another such soul struck tonight

And I felt the anger and hurt, flood.

–

I really need a thicker skin

I shouldn’t even care

After reading what was said within

I had no smile to bear.

–

Some folks oughta get a life

Rather than writing words unclean

Not since my ex-wife

Have I read such text, so mean.

–

We’re all authors, trying to succeed

Not hurt each other for sport

Encouragement is my true creed

Not succumbing to petty resorts.

–

Maybe it’s bitter envy I don’t know

What motivates one to hurt another

Maybe someone loses control

And just chooses to choke and smother.

–

I guess I just don’t know anymore

Why people would rather be dogging

Instead of setting out, resentful what more

Maybe just concentrate on blogging?

  1. There’s no reason you should blame yourself for not having thicker skin. Other animals are born with protection. E.g. water runs right off a duck’s back. Humans are born with thin, sensitive skin, physically and emotionally. Armor is protective, but limiting. Emotional armor takes much practice & and discipline to develop, and it risks walling yourself off from others.

    They’re the problem, sometime by a misunderstanding.

  3. A little encouragement goes a long way, but some people are just mean to the bone and don’t have an encouraging word for anyone. They are so miserable that they can’t stand for anyone else to be happy. Just keep being you; your best revenge on haters!

            • Everything I write comes from feelings and very big big feelings. So when people take potshots at me or am I writing it’s like they’re taking hot shots at my feelings and it’s tough.

            • It’s discouraging; a kick in the face. I think all artists see and feel life differently than most people. We are sensitive, emotional creatures, and that’s okay. So we get knocked down, but we get back up because we believe in ourselves, and will continue to create no matter what mean, cold-hearted people think!

            • It’s never too late, Anthony! My son is 57, and empath, an artist, and he found the perfect wife more than 30 years ago. Keep looking!

            • WOW! Alimony. I was a single mom for 5 years. I never received child support or alimony! I just wanted him to leave my son and me ALONE! And that’s what he did. And we survived. I never thought the right one would ever come along, but he did. He adopted my son and 54 years later, we’re still happily married. You gotta believe in miracles Anthony. I admit, it’s harder finding the right one in this day and age. I feel for you. You deserve someone who will love and appreceiate you. Don’t settle for less!

            • Yeah, I wasted close to 30 years on three women two divorces and one long engagement that went nowhere so yeah, I wasted it.

              We’ll see if I can find someone before I get too old lol or maybe I’ll just use my walker to find her and take out my teeth lol

            • Some good being you very, very subjective word here…

              I’d rather be living than piling up hard lessons over and over again …

              I finally learned it, but whether or not it’s too late I guess remains to be seen…
