You are the beautiful one

by Amber - Gemini

I watch the television,
Enveloped in the stories.
These kids are killing each other,
What happened in the 3 years since I left?
Only three years have passed,
All I see is the carnage in those walls.
What has happened in those years,
And why to these people of our future?
I have no advice,
No sage answers to ease their pain.
Just a few pieces of hope,
A little of my pain to share.
No amount of teasing or taunting
Should ever result in this.
One thing I learned in school,
Violence is not the way.
Learn to ignore, and brush away,
The one's dealing the pain are the true losers.
Think of it this way,
NEVER in the bad.
You are the beautiful one, the smart one, the cool one,
Look at how jealous the others are.
They only tease,
Just to prove how awful they have it.
The spoiled kids will never know creativity,
they will only know how to buy it.
Look at how wonderful you are,
Do not let someone tell you otherwise.

Reason for writing:

    This one goes out to the kids who are relentlessly teased for no reason. I hope this makes a difference in at least one life.
