"I am what you make me"

*like*

mashaaAllah! this is a great poem!

True, we are what people made us. but it really depends how we react to labels. do we go with them? because we don't know better?

or do we go against them? to prove them wrong, to show them the truth!

Bullying...shows how weak Humans are, the bullied AND the bully.
Shows how we need Allah with us always and everywhere.

Totally agree with you there Lilly san.

The buliied need to be able to stand up for themslelves otherwise they will keep getting bullied and the bully will carry on bullying. You just make life easier for the bullies when you let them get away with oppressing people.

It's a far bigger picture then calling someone names, it leads to more people being bullied on a larger scale and more victims doing nothing about it.

and the support the bullied can find to stand up against bullying is in having Faith. And Allah the most exalted.

BELIEEEVVVEEEE

I see what you're saying and it's true sometimes.

Never got that from the poem though.

well..i got labelleing, as the first line of the first 4 stances was to do with name calling. but then at the end you wrote teenage bullying so i thought thats what it was. and now you say self-fulfilling prophecy, confuzzled!

the special thing about poetry, is that you leave the reader to interpret in their own ways. (and give the answer at the end if you want to.)

the bullied: no hope in God.
