'PAUSE'

Here's a Poem about Cyber bullying entitled "PAUSE"

I look online 

At this virtual war

We all live in today.

And I find a hidden war

That never seems to end.

Cruel words hidden as bombs

Barbaric comments hidden as guns.

As I walk through this torn battlefield

I find not a single page 

With peace instead of war.

People seem to become so mean

They mocked,belittled,slandered

Just because it isn't face to face

People turn into Monsters 

Monsters that bite.

Its like people seem to think

Their words have no impact

Their message is just a joke 

But this virtual war 

Is killing people inside 

And this war on the internet

Is more real than before.

Pause...I want you to pause ...

Pause....please pause.....

A teardrop runs down her face

Slide past her cheekbone

Slowly it drops off her chin

And she has never felt so alone.

What do they do? 

What do they say?

To make her feel horrible 

In words she cannot say.

Is it the messages? 

Or the texts she gets?

That make her have 

So many regrets

They made her feel awful 

And Horrible Inside 

She hates herself 

More than anything alive.

There are crying people 

Bullied people

Who watch these bullets

That people have sent 

And decided that maybe that life isn't worth living anymore.

Pause...seriously, pause 

Some people think

That words on a screen 

Doesn't mean as much

So they have the right t be mean.

Those people don't know 

How much it hurts 

To be receiving 

Those hateful words 

They don't understand

The power they hold 

With each letter they type

With each word they made bold.

They don't think a bit 

About what might come 

When that message receiver

Decides to succumb.

They don't foresee

The dreaded result 

Of a person attack 

By an online cult.

The World Wide Web 

Was not created 

For the ignorant to attack

And the innocent hated.

With every ''Like'' button pressed 

And comment sent 

You give people a taste 

Of who you represent 

Pause...Pause...I want you to pause

There are wounded people 

Wanting for just some love

Only to find hate and anger

Written wherever  they go

In this internet world today.

This war maybe virtual 

But it's real and alive 

Even as we speak.

Some people may wonder why

Teens are becoming so depressed.

Thanks to all the social networking

And the phones take advantage of.

Bear in mind 

And think about this 

The next time you send

A message so mean.

So next time you're online 

And want to act like a fool

Just keep in mind 

That cyber bullying is not cool.

Now don't pause....please stop.

Full stop !

Lots Of 💖
