To understand pain you must have experienced it Some say they understand But have the nerve to tell someone in true pain to get over it. As if the pain could be quelled with time and no help As if theyve ever had to hide all the pain behind a smile and had it rough Like theyre playing off a bluff in a game of cards and never had to deal with the pain of a broken heart And never had to put up with the insults like ***, nerd, emo and goth just because they wanted to be different and thought people would love it But the insults cut deep like a knife wielding creep that keeps stabbing deeper until it finally hits the core And you just cant take anymore You think youve had it tough When the person beside you has a life even more rough They go home each day and cant help but say "I am not good enough" So its their wrists that they cut Like a dissection gone wrong Going through depression With sadness that comes back over and over like a sick obsession And still people sit there and with aggression tell them that theyre stupid and will never go anywhere and keep a cold stare with a deep hate as if they cant come to accept them and judge the outside without knowing the beauty of their personality and when in reality they are the kindest person you could ever meet but the "cool kids" find them unacceptable They are susceptible to pain because of the way their life is going like the crash of a long dark passenger train The tears in their eyes are caused by the fears of being hated On the inside they are amazing and its simply love they are craving For once perhaps you could care and help them feel at home Because it hurts be alone.
My first poem written. I want to thank Poet writers society for bringing me out of my shell and sharing it
