The other day I was told to stop throwing staples
when I wasnt throwing them
they were falling
falling out of my skin
Once they were all down my legs
all along my arms around my waist
and all over my face
And most of all they kept me smiling
and when someone hurts me they fall out
I stapled my mouth so I could smile
and now they have fallen out
I'm afraid I won't smile
and everyone has turned and gasped in fear
and I look in the mirror and my mouth
its bigger and black and scarier
and everyone screams
" STOP SMILING!"
"PLS STOP! YOUR SCARING ME!"
and I look at all of them as the look away
all the people who have bullied me and harmed me
now screaming in fear... but I don't feel joy
I run and hide because there scared
and I sit in a dark corner and cry
and I cry. not because I look like a monster
but no one loves me for me
that I'm alone in this dark world
and I look at all the staples
some blood stands and bent
but I notice there are two staples remaining
two staples struggling to hold together my broken heart
but suddenly I realize..... that I'm the way I am
and I pick up the stapler and say
"its those who were mean to me who needs a smile."
=) We don't need staples or stitches to help us smile. Just smile in the faces of the people who doubts you or bullied you and called you names. And you know that you get the last laugh.
