Don't Be Insensitive
Say It Plainly Challenge
do not fire upon me
do not impose upon my grief
do not compare your own circumstances
Do No Be Insensitive
##############################
how could you compare anything
to losing a child
certainly not a dog
Do Not Be Insensitive
#################################
do not say we are kindred spirits
losing a spouse is not the same as losing a child
or losing a friend
Do Not Be Insensitive
####################################
unless that child was your best friend
you do not know what you are talking about
losing a child is like losing a part of yourself
Do Not Be Insensitive
########################################
you insinuate I copy ideas
I write from the heart using my own ideas
I don't need your grief, I have enough of my own
Do Not Be Insensitive
####################################
do you even have children of your own
three others wrote comments that were compassionate
please leave me alone from now on
Please, Oh Please Do Not Be Insensitive
And Please Stay Away From Me
Can I Say It Any More Plainly
