I feel so alone and helpless at times Where others see painted nails, tans, dyed hair I see people and stories. Where others see laziness and unwilling to do work It's there fault! They bring it upon themselves! I can see the sadness, and despair in the words written on the signs. The heartbreak, the hope that someone will notice and reach out to them. Where most people say "its just part of growing up, It makes them tougher, aw the other kid just has low self esteem. Just ignore it!" I see a kid being pushed, pushed around until they can't take it anymore. Where feeling so low, that not existing is their answer. Or fighting Self esteem issues, hurting themselves, never feeling good enough takes over their lives. Where Other people see another typical   news story of violence guns and knives. "Let them **** each other! There stupid animals anyways! Were better off without them! They don't even try to better themselves! Its the ghetto who cares!" I see a town failing, a place that wasn't given the tools to succeed. Teach their children, and children's children. We just keep making up excuses. Instead of helping, we put the blame on them.  I try to feel their pain, walk in there shoes as they say, but I can't. I want to better understand people. I want to help people not judge. I can never imagine a world so tough and hard to get ahead.For so many people just turn the other cheek and don't bat an eye Simply could care less. Its sad world were all living in. IF only, IF only my words. Were more,more than lines. Were helping hands. That could reach out and spread love.Give hope, and dreams to people hurting inside. I am pouring my heart and soul into these words. I wish that I had the artistic ability to put magic in these words. I want them to cure the world of hard ache. To become umbrellas to keep the drops from falling. To build walls for the homeless. To give strength to the child who struggles everyday to fit in. I want the words to be tools. Not just words.My words have no deep meaning, They are merely wishes. Dreams.  I feel I have failed as a human because I cannot do more.  We must take hour heads out of our phones, Put them in the clouds look at the sky. AND PAY ATTENTION. There is so much more to this world then *** ttyl. More than a status messages and tweets But now I just feel so beat We are in this together. We must work together. If we want this world to last forever.

We Are All More Than Just A Line In A Poem

I don't know if this constitutes really as a poem either, just another string of thoughts.
