It's not just the falsely accused
That suffer
It's the children, the parents
The sister, the brother.
It's not just the horror
Of a person's false claim,
It's the band-wagon jumpers
That blacken your name
It's not just suspicion
That causes your hell
It's the following and hounding
That compounds it as well.
It's not just observing
But making it known
To the local community
Accusations were thrown
I hit rock bottom,
A deep, dark despair
I reached out for someone,
But no-one was there.
Somehow, I got through it
Came out the other side
With all the emotions
Of the rockiest ride.
A time to feel anxious,
A time to cry
A time best forgotten,
Moved on from, passed by
It is the darkest just before dawn. It seems your dawn has arrived. Good rhyme and meter.Keep writing-A 9+ Joe

people kick you when you are down. no-one wants to stand out of the ground and offer support but instead they themselves cast the stone. this is well expressed thankyou i enjoyed and felt the emmotion.
This is good work. So descriptive of an experience that befalls everyone at some time. Enjoy your poetry. Adeline
As dark as this hour may have been it is truly an amazing poem. a special poem this it and deserves to be saved.
Can identify with this one - people can be so cruel and thoughtless, often in an attempt to feed their own egos. Very well written.

Not sure if it was written from personal experience, but you accurately relayed the impact, not only on the accused, but also on them closest to them. I have been accused of many crimes, and I only committed half of them. Yeah, pick on the pirate!
