Poem
Sometimes I wonder what things I’ll do in life Will I have a wife, a soul mate, a life-long friend, a companion till the end? Will I be left on my own, by myself to fend? Send me to a place where your looks don’t matter To a place where you can be skinnier or fatter To a place where your confidence and self esteem wont shatter A place where you won’t be judged if you eat a full platter I wish my emotions were an optional choice To be able to drop them, escape the insulting voice I wish I was a toddler, back when all that mattered was toys Where it didn’t make a difference if you liked girls or boys People’s words are like an army, waiting to be deployed And when they deport, your feelings are destroyed You’re on your own left thinking if there is anyone on your side But you don’t go and search, you feel the need to hide They have created a monster, it’s now living inside It's tearing down your courage, and eating your pride You find yourself asking if your parents have lied. Telling you all these years, you're perfect in every way shape and size Even now when you hear that, a part of you dies Because it’s not what you believe, according to statistics You've been judged throughout life, on your appearance and characteristics Facing the world’s most blunt and cold hearted critics It’s inevitable to judge, but don't be so quick to attack You don't know that person, and that’s just a fact. The one you made fun of, lost everything, house burned down, he didn’t have time to pack His father had left when he was young; his mother was addicted to crack What we all take for granted, is what this boy lacked. All I’m asking, is to think before you speak Even though you don't know it, it’s making the person weak Just focus on yourself, seek what you want from life Don't be the person who's the reason, on their wrist, lays a knife.
