A Letter To The Downtrodden

Not so much a poem as a plee to anyone who feels not good enough for anything or anyone. I've been told I'm on a crusade against bullying...I never realised it until recently.

To,

 

Anyone who feels helpless,

Anyone who's been crushed,

By parents,

'Friends',

Mentors,

Teachers,

By anyone who has any influence on you.

You are not alone,

You  don't need to make them proud,

The ones who matter the most,

They're already proud of you.

Stop pandering to the whims of those who try to destroy you,

Stop trying to please those who will never be pleased,

Stop changing yourself for others,

Stop blending in to feel worth something.

As long as you're doing what feels right to you,

As long as you're pleasing yourself,

As long as you're being true to yourself,

As long as you're refusing to go with the crowd...

You are doing what's right,

You are pleasing those who matter,

You are who you need to be,

You are worth EVERYTHING.

And those who disagree with how you are,

What you do,

Who you are,

Well,

They're not the right people for you.

The right people are those,

Who stick by you,

Love you for you,

Are always proud of you.

Never be someone who you're not,

Because there is only one you,

Don't allow others to make you like everyone else,

You're amazing as you are.

Never forget that.

Sincerely,

     A Guy Who Took Far Too Long To Realise What Truly Matters

Author's Note

Again this may or may not be any good but if it helps even one person I'll be happy.

Wow
I think that you are a really mature person for writing this.
You are the sort of person thats been through things and gone through hellfire
and back.And lived to tell the tale, to warn the needy.I loved your poem but I love your intentions even more.
Great Job!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

I love, love, love it. A letter to every person on the planet that feels that there a little less that they should be. Flows perfectly and grammatically sound, I applaud your work writer, well done.

Youre headed in the right direction. Your perception of things are much better then most writers. Just dont stop challenging yourself. keep it up.
