Why Use Words That Hurt

Loser geek and even nerd Very painful hurtful words Makes you feel pushed and shoved All alone and never loved An outcast by other people Wishing one day you could feel Accepted for being you Born this way you are so true To yourself and never want To change any little part Of this person deep inside Special enough not to hide Qualities that are unique Wishing others would just peek Seeing you are not at all The names you are being called You just want to be treated With the kindness that is needed To survive and not be shunned This hatred needs to be undone

I can relate big time as i worked with students with additional needs - mainly Asperger's - its such a shame that people can't see that some disabilities are not visible and not realise that their behaviours are something they can't control its just part of who they are. hugs jan xx

I'm relating very much to your openness and honesty in your poems, Robin. In an encouraging, heart strengthening way. So many of us have been through soul destroying circumstances. And have survived. And are in the "healing process..." You express "fellow feeling" and empathy towards those who are "different", yet need to be accepted. I deeply appreciate your poetry. Helping me, and many others to "hold their ground." Warm regards, ((Hugs))
