MoreA Poem by WaverlynWe are more.In your life, the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” Is something you’ll hear a lot But there’s also a point in your life When you realize that That isn’t necessarily true Adults will tell you “Kids will be kids” “People can be cruel” And the worst one- “Just get over it” But something you don’t hear- Is that you are more You are more than your bully’s own problems Because despite what adults say The fact that they are hurt Does not give them the right to hurt you You are more than the names they call you And you know that But it doesn’t make it hurt any less You are more than the things your sadness has made you do Whether it was push away those close to you Or something more extreme You are more than the thoughts you have Because you’re not worthless And people would miss you if you left But they aren’t the only ones who need to tell you this You need to wrap a cast around your broken heart Wrap it tight and then sign it You sign it ‘they were wrong’ They have to be wrong We have to believe that they were wrong Because how else would we have made it this far? We walk this tightrope between quiet and dead And yeah, some of us fell But us, me and you We are graduating members of the class of ‘We Made It’ So now we can face them and we can say “I am more, and you were wrong”
