Nasty Remarks,
Here to there,
Left to right,
Right to left.

I feel as though
I'm standing on a rope
With a candle
Lit beneath it.

It gets thinner
everytime someone
makes a nasty remark
toward me.

After a while there
are only a few strings
left and they can't hold
on much longer.

And finally, the rope
is down to it's last
thread. The candle is
still burning beneath it.

After the last piece of
thread is gone, then where
are you? You're left to burn.

I'm not going to be
down to the last thread,
Not on the rope I'm standing on!

Welcome to Passions. That is a very good start. I enjoyed the poem very much. You will enjoy the rest of the poets here they are very involved with the work of others along with their own. I't a nice family.
I am quite new here but I feel right at home.
Great poem! waiting to read some others.
