Not understanding why. Leaves a soul to cast a shadow unto it's own path. In the heart of hearts bears a solemn truth. May the beginning start for everyone. Peace. :)

Sad expressions from wonderful lines which are so liberal to disallow the message to stay hidden. I love this poem and it is definitely a 7

Yes, this is such a difficult situation in school. I had many such times when I was left out or ignored. I remember the pain. Thankfully we finally become adults and can leave it behind us, but the scars are real. Big hugs and wishes for all the joy your heart can hold! Love, Kimberly

For the super shy kids who are not able to break out of their shell, It is heartbreaking!

Posey, I had that happen to me in grade school. I decided in Jr. High to change my fate. If the popular kids did not want me, I would find other girls my own kind, smart, funny and kind. We had a great group and I felt proud that I collected some wonderful friends in jr. high!

Yes, it does hurt to be shed away from at that young age. I was a loner when I went to school for the most past. My mother used to send me to school with bruises and cut places from her beatings. Just saying . . . I'm an old man now, but the horror of my school years still can get a rise out of me.

Ooh Jerry...you had to undergo terrible days... it is not easy to overcome the hurt you have faced as a child... it keeps haunting us once in a while... i hope no kid will have to face such an experience , but it tends to repeat itself ...
