White Coats

This poem is about bullying.. Sadly I think most of us experience some form of bullying during our lives. This poem is for all of us.

I see them walking down the street without me
All my footprints are covered by the snow
I don't know if they still care about me
If they do, it dosen´t show

The cold wind´s blowing and hits my exposed heart
I am walking faster carrying all my hopes
Despite the snow the road is getting very dark
They're fading into the background in those white winter coats

White coats, white coats
Why do you gotta leave me out in the cold?
White coats, white coats
This shield around me is getting hard to uphold
White coats, white coats
I'm just looking for someone to call my friend
Before the cold wind comes back again

I see them laughing on the corner without me
All my footprints are covered by the snow
Talking about places I´ll never go with them to see
And sharing secrets that I´ll never know

This is the coldest December we've had in years
They are huddled together under the lamppost
I walk away melting the ground with my tears
They don't feel my pain from the warmth of their white coats

White coats, white coats
Why you gotta leave me out in the cold?
White coats, white coats
This shield around me is getting hard to uphold
White coats, white coats
I'm just looking for someone to call my friend
Before the cold wind comes back again

Heart achingly sad write, beautifully written. To feel the loneliness of exclusion is the cruellest of the cruel. Being in the crowd seems full of fun and smiles, but what are they laughing and smiling at? Not being the one on the outside.
"I walk away melting the ground with my tears
They don't feel my pain from the warmth of their white coats"
Perfectly put.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece.
