don’t speak
For the Moment of Silence Challenge

stop acting like a victim
it could have been worse
let it go
evil is a strong word—don’t be dramatic
nobody believes you
cry on your own time
everyone is tired of you

Thank you for reading ♥️

A harsh dismissal of someone's pain, minimizing their experience and urging them to move on without validation or empathy.
This speaks concentrated VOLUMES! All the toxic, negative, and harmful things people say to those who have been through immense trauma--like it's some inconvenience. Such a powerful message you have written, and by the stars, I'm proud of you for writing it!
Nice art
Incredible.
This was so good I have to go and read another of your poems
I loved this. Thank you for sharing.
When I release the story behind ROCK I will am considering going exclusive. It's a huge leap to expose one's self after serious abuse and trauma. You give me courage. One can never have enough to fight for truth and freedom.
Narcissism in its various forms. Evil is as evil does. Speak...speak. Congrats to you.
Powerful words. These can hit for anyone who goes against what those in power have decided how you should behave
Well done on a deserved Top Story, Angela!
Yayaya congrats on top story! 💌🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳
This is so violent.
It's powerful reading the negative voices embodied so bluntly... Dark and troubling and beautifully composed. Congratulations on the TS!
I like this. Feels a little too short. It would be interesting to see you turn this into a short story that utilizes the underlying points you are making here.
Great entry, it was super powerful! Congrats on Top Story!
Sad, beautiful and I appreciate how you have the number at the bottom. Well done!

You captured the emotions well with your words. So sad but needed.
Wow. To the point, flawless.
What a harsh poem. You conveyed the message perfectly though.

This hits hard. So well done
So sad, but too true. Very well written!
