[hometext] => To you its a joke, to them its loneliness
[bodytext] => He was such a lonely child The way he kept to himself, ever so mild He had so much to tell the world But he was always the same, always within himself, furled The burdens he carried, you will never know The hurt he felt, he never showed The tears were always close to overflowing In his head, a lone crow is heard desperately crowing He was just 14 when his mum died All he ever wanted to do was run and hide But you gave this child no mercy or respect Instead you turned a naïve eye to his neglect Such care goes into these words I write To truly show the emotions this boy had to fight The simplicity of life is easy for you to see Never did you have such hardship that made you want to flee He prayed every night to an unanswering god But god never did help out this lost sod, You have no idea, none at all, what true loneliness is like Its climbing a vertical wall, surrounded by nothing, an impossible hike We spend money on stupid things like sport Whilst a once, innocent kid is sent to court If we gave money to the things that mattered Would the world still be as tattered? So this young child had never been cared for Never had anything, he was completely poor Yet he was the symbol of a true hero, Powering on through life, after starting from zero You go to school and you see this boy You decide to take the *****, like his a toy Yet you wonder why he is always so shy All he wishes for is that he could fly I am the child whose story you read Please think before you do something, it’s all that I plead You have no idea the loneliness I felt Truth be told what made it harder was the pain that you dealt Some nights I felt sick, so hard to keep it together Always feeling alone, under the weather I know there are others out there like me That’s why im here, to try and get you to see Do you know how hard it is to trust anything? When you have been let down so many times I don’t want your sympathetic tears I want happiness; there’s been too much sadness over my years Now this boy sits alone in his room of shadows How he feels, no one but himself knows Take a moment; you could save someone’s life One little conversation could save so much strife A joke could mean nothing to you and your mate But for the accused, it can hold so much hate No one so young deserves to be so upset The way I felt, you will never get I don’t even know myself, when I look in my own eyes I would’ve been long gone if I didn’t have all these ties I want to help the others like me, the lonely & the sad I will be the answer to all who plea, no matter how bad [comments] => 3 [counter] => 322 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Damian [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
