I'm no punching bag
September 7, 2014
I don't want to be there when you're sad,
Because you treat me like a punching bag.
Poison words thrown all around
Coming into my head with punches and sounds.
I've been trying to keep my brain away.
I've succeeded 'til today.
Today, your words hit too hard.
You finally played your strongest card.
What hurts so much to hurt another?
I'll go away, I won't be a bother.
So today, I have decided, now
That I won't get bullied, even if I don't know how.
How to end this neverending circle.
Thanks to you my arms are purple.

I looked at this poem and your essay ''The green dot'' and I think that you're an amazing writer with a lot of talent and potential. You should definitely keep writing. :) @Infralalenshka

Thank you so much for the feedback! I just fixed the typo, waiting for it to be reviewed by Teen Ink *rolls eyes*.

Wow, great job with this poem. I like the rhyme scheme that you have and how this poem is personal. I like how you line spaced the piece. I have two suggestions. Number one is I suggest you tell everyone to come vote and like this poem and number two, I suggest that you can change "don,t" to "don't". I really like the line, "That I won't get bullied, even if I don,t know how." Great job with the line spacing. Please keep writing! :)
