Poem
Life is a struggle, this is something we’re all aware of. Some cower down when it decides to give us a little shove. To some people life is something to hate. Rejection and sorrow, they fear was their given fate. They are at a crossroad in their life right now. They want to escape their doom, but they don’t know how. You see these people everyday. Walk right past them and think they’re ok. If someone would stop and look into their eyes, Only then may they see their silent cries. Cries that showcase all the pain they’ve endured, So much hurt that they simply can’t be cured. We all know the girl who has it all, The one who walks like she’s ten feet tall. What we don’t know is how she feels inside. She was always taught to smile, her real emotions to hide. If you knew her like the four walls in her room, You wouldn’t be so fast to judge, so quick to assume. I’ll tell you this, something you may not believe, Her biggest fear in life, true happiness she’ll never achieve. How about the star athlete? You know the one who never accepts defeat. He walks around like he’s the man, You definitely aren’t his biggest fan. You don’t know what is going on in his head. He probably wishes he could be back in bed. You see he was up again all night, Pillow over his ears, listening to his parents fight. On to the next one, the girl without the looks, The girl who walks in the hall with three or four books. You call her the loser, geek and nerd, You walk right past her, story unheard. She studies hard to get good grades, With hope to get away from her parent’s tirades. She can’t stand being at home she needs to leave quick, Her mother’s on drugs, her dad an alcoholic. I hope you’ve learned that people aren’t always as they seem. Don’t tear others down to boost your own self esteem. Before you judge take a good hard look. Remember, the cover doesn’t always represent the book.
