I looked at her And with complete peace I smiled Knowing that her's was hiding pain She was never loved Was never seen as anything special Beat up and bruised by the words of others People Who didn't even know her As I grew to know her Love her I found myself in her unconditional love She never judged
He was tormented everyday For something he couldn't change Gay Pushed down stairs Shoved into lockers And when he came home His parents couldn't even look at him Blinded by their hate They pushed him away Into the hands of drugs Not because he wanted to But because he felt no love
And as for me My story has bits and pieces of theirs Cutting was what fueled my life Sucide Because I was never loved by someone Looked down apon because of who I loved I never knew how good life could be Until I heard other peoples stories
No one should be treated badly We all search for happiness But sometimes that's at the cost of others We all have light and dark within us Choose to fuel the light Choose to diminsh the dark
I got the idea for this poem from watching Shane Koyczans video To This Day. These are actually true stories from myself and two other people that I know. There is really no ending to this poem. Their lives and mine are still going on. Hope you find it powerful and inspiring
