Written Signs

People standing Holding up Written signs Oh how they feel About anything A girl and boy Standing right by each other Not wanting to talk They hold up signs The girl's sign reads 'I Hate Him...' The boy's sign says 'I love Her...' Relationships can be so hard A sad little girl Holds up a sign 'I want to die...' Tears streaming down her face Sometimes they could be confessions A little boy That is filled with rage Admits what he has done 'I killed my family...' A girl Only about fifteen Holds up her last sign And tells the world how she feels 'Im Going To Commit Suicide' No one tried to stop her They made her do it Two little girls Dressed in red Hold up one big sign It says 'Where is the peace in the world' Silly little girls Have you not heard The world Will never have peace It is all one big war A boy So confused and lonely 'I dont like being alone' Everyone is alone Even me No family No friends No life Dont let that bother you It doesnt bother me I am used to it People try to help I dont need any help Just let me live my life The way I want to And if I dont like it Then Ill just die All by myself

Hey Allison, Thank you for sharing this poem. It is sad but well-written! We certainly don't live in a peaceful place but we hope to-one day. Please don't give up hope-don't believe the lie that this is all there is. God is alive! Peace and love, Audrey P.S. Hope I haven't offended you!

I hope you are not holding a sign up to us. Sad poem, it would be great if the world was perfect and there was no sadness. Welcome to the soup.
