A poem I wrote for my school's "Do The Write Thing"

They pushed and they shoved,

But we kept silent

They said things we wouldn't dare repeat,

But stayed nonviolent

Later on it builds up inside

To the point where we almost committed scuicide

We're always ignored. Like diamonds in the rough,never to be seen

The pressure of friends never gave us the chance to be ourselves

At home we tried to be the perfect kid/sibling

We said everything was okay

But now we're tired of the okay's

We have so much more to say!...Just give us the time

Our parents act as if they don't see us anymore

The pain they've caused us bangs heavily on our chest like it's a door

Now we're laying cold and numb on the floor

We just can't take it,it's getting real tough

The pain gets too strong

We know we won't be around that long

And everyone keeps saying to just hold on

But it's harder than you'll ever know
