small whisps of truth

it started out innocently
but now its a mess
why did this happen
i cannot begin to guess
i lost my pride
to a joker i do not know
and now i weep
but one day it will again grow
did you think it would be funny
to hurt someone so
did you even think
when you put it on the shelf
now i am broken hearted
sitting here alone
while a bad situation
worse it started to grow
now no one will listen
to what i have to say
they think the company
should be made to pay
i find fault in no one
but the one who tampered
with the shampoo
now my hair is thinning
in spots there is none
i try to forgive them
as i drown in sorrow
the man who it the joker
will live out his days
knowing he hurt someone
with his cruel ways
but i will hold my head up high
and walk around bald
because than at least i can say than
i have no shame at all.

About this poem:
i bought a bottle of shampoo the other day and used it. Moments after touching my scalp it started to burn and clump together. An oder filled the room and my hair started to fall out. I wept and screamed for help as I held my hair. My family wants me to hire a lawyer and go after the company but i do not want to. It wasn't there fault someone tampered with the product. i got sad when i saw myself in the mirror than got thinking it could have been worse. At least it was my head and not my baby girls.

As a parent..I more than understand your gladness that your girls didn't use that shampoo..and I hope they find this person who done this, for you.
Thank you for sharing...Blessings bouquet wine

I am so sorry to hear this my dear. I can see what you are trying to say about not forgiving. Yet sometimes keeping silent allows monsters to perpetuate their greedy ways and wrong doings; speaking up may save someone else's health or even life. I hope you are fine dear. sad flower

I wanted to thank you for your comments. It did not end as I woud hope.My hair fell out and my head was mildly burned. The person who did it was a fourteen year old boy. his parents didn't think it too funny when they ha to pay the medical bills.heart1
