A child without sanctuary

So unique Different Its not really a crime A crime
Yet surely it is hard
Everything about it feels As one huge cage
Friends more distant Mental strain Each time the sore feet Passes the hour-long corridor At school There, the eyes of others looking for mistakes Towed with unwanted
Cold little sore hands Bruising does not seem to see
Cuticle who chewed For concerns about the next hours Next lesson Break
Tries alone envelop protection With the inexperienced arms in the corner
Gases feels increasingly dehydrated Rooms infected Trauma attaches itself Discomfort to be present
Nowhere to go
Locked in bathroom Constant battles in the shroud flow For their entertainment
Words that burn Persistent deeper into the soft, fragile Body as soon falls through Barring
Paralyzed and without control When the mob frequency fists heard Incoming as a steam locomotive Against the light penetrable Garments
No one single scream Falls far down The words are heavier than beaten Pain makes it
Oscillating "between" terminus Feels like one harmony There alone makes the most sense Without demons who want to hurt
Uncertainty creeps All details of how the everyday The evening will be at home
Is there food? Or will it just dry crispbread As has been eaten throughout the week
Will parents drink Fighting Mess Have a party again Will be ignored Unwanted Hated
But what if
They really want to hug when Or say that they love endlessly A pat on the back for that one Have good grades If hot food is on the table
Would not it wonderful
Think
If they are with and look When it occurs Compete with all the hearty performance
Will they be proud then?

Great poem.
A lot of people might not understand this one though.
It sounds more like a self-struggle to me.
And Remember to be unique, to be different is not a crime.
Take yourself out of the shadows now if you want to have friends though...don't hide, don't crouch in one corner.
You know what I mean.
Keep on writing. |
