Writing prompts for my fellow writers
Thank you for taking the time
To stop and read my posts
Each and every one of you
Hold a special place in my heart
So I raise my glass to you all
In a very heartfelt toast
My gratitude I guarantee is true
Your thoughts and kindness play
An integral part!!!
I would like to take this time and thank all of my followers and fans for liking my blog and following my journey..
I cannot believe I have reached 200 likes – not possible without all you!! YOU ROCK!!
Hugs xo
Here is my parting thought for the day
I have been reading and following
What all the other bloggers have to say
The one that striked me the most
Bought me back to a darker time
Reviving all the deadly ghosts
I read an articles about Bullying
It caught my eyes and opened the gates
I remember so vividly being a victim of the hate
In my day and age, zero tolerance did not exist
Teachers turned their heads and looked the other way
No one listen to the pleas that I would say
Although too late for me now as I have moved on
I reach my hand out to those tormented so harshly
Don’t give up the fight and let them win – keep pushing along
Reach out to those you know and love for help
Let them know what you are going through
Don’t let the bullies defeat you!!

Very moving!!
A Bunch Of Bullies Thought It Would Be Funny To Pummel This Kid. They Aren’t Laughing Now. Reblogged from Upworthy, 1 March 2013
Tormented daily
Threatened
Beaten down
My trust in humanity
Laid scattered on ground
Years it took to rebuild
Find strength inside
You may have robbed my childhood
But i still have my pride
Where are you now I wonder
I am doing fine – I survived the pain
I can hold my head up and walk away
What really did your bullying leave you to gain?
I didn’t write this to rehash buried memories
Actually your actions made me stronger now
With your abuse behind me i can endure anything
My power has come back to me – somehow!!!
What happens when government takes away teacher’s bargaining rights in Ontario!!!
Here is my gratitude list for today’s date
