I was once the new boy in school There was I all shy and alone Where I was I had no clue Just knew to be on my own
Took just three days To have an unwelcome crowd Showing their ways To keep pulling me down
Not knowing the human in me Hiding the wounds and fracture Only knew I was a refugee From a place that met mother nature
If only you knew the damage Of the trauma from your attempt All the stress I had to manage When I already felt exempt
Depressed enough to even decide Whether everything was proof To consider attempting suicide Due to hanging from my roof
Chose to ignore the ******* Continuously sinking my hopes Understood their empty morals While I was trying to cope
I grew into a better man Life is better than I seemed Believed in doing whatever I can To do what Iβve always dreamed
No matter what youβre going through Or convinced light will dim Just know that if you be you You could never let the bullies win
Entirely constructed within a period of 24 hours, this poem is about my ordeal back in 2011-2012 when I relocated schools and cities after the event of an earthquake in my home city. I can't say the reception I received was considerate or healthy. You could say the poem shows a before, during and after concept because it's basically a story of what actually happened. The finish is a message to anyone going through either emotional or mental discomfort.
