Live Like UsA Poem by AprilRivers12Do you know that feeling you get when something bad
happens right in front of you; right before your very eyes? That feeling that eats you up and closes in on you…
when you can’t breathe, or speak and you feel like someone has just ripped a
piece of you out of your body and crushed it between their palms while they
laugh as you fall to your knees in defeat.
Imagine feeling like that every second of every day;
there are millions of people who do. The slightest slip of words or a wrong facial
expression can cause hell to come alive in the souls of these people… you may
think it doesn't bother them just to tell them they are wrong or that there are
people who have it worse off. These people don’t just live in fear of other
people; they live in fear of life itself.
Happiness comes from the freedom to live… but what
about those who haven’t ever had the chance to actually live? Every day there is that constant fear that something
could go wrong at any given moment, something that they do could cause something
horrible to happen… and they never forgive themselves when all is said and
done. Yet we never own up to pressing the wound deeper
into the skin of a person who fears life; we always blame that person, don’t
we? “They were sick in the head, they were stupid…” weren't they? When you see the actual wound you've created open up
and show true feeling behind the scar it will create, will you understand
then? Live like one of us and I promise you, you still
will never feel pain as we do. © 2013 AprilRivers12 |
