People Pain

Everyone has pain in they're life, and everyone has different ways to deal with it, but no ones pain is more qualified to be recognized then anothers.

There's the girl

who sits alone in class

Nose-deep in a book

secretly argueing with her past

Scars she's endured

she tries to hide

she'll only get more

if she gets on daddy's bad side.

And that's the boy

who gets shoved around

walks home alone

with out a sound.

He plays his music loud

to drown out his pains

and cries for help

on his wrist, red stains

So who's that s**t

every week, a new ex

All that's in her think blonde head

Is make-up, money and sex

But underneath

all the fame

she's not loved at all

her heart's just the same

And there's that guy

he's on 3 sports teams

beats up kids for fun

but he's more then he seems

When he was young

back when love, he didn't lack

but then his daddy left

and he never came back

 

Hello there, miss

who dances in the rain

seems happy at first

but then you see her pain

Her life is good

but she's still depressed

craving love is hard

and left her distressed

 

So when you're feeling down,

just stay true to you

find good friends that care

and you'll make it through.

[MadiKay]

I can mostly relate to the first (Except, I don't get abused by my family..) and the fifth stanza.

[MadiKay]

What I like about this piece, is that it unviels some of our tragedies, some of our secrets. We all have a different backstory. Amazing job! (:

Thanks so much Madi! Your reviews are always so kind :)

[Michael Bujtas]

This was excellent, no other words I can say.

I love how the fonts and the sizes change with each character, almost giving them characteristics of their own. I love how the quiet shy girl's poem has the smallest font and lettering while being at the top and easily unnoticeable. Then there's the big loud football player who is large red and in the middle of things.

I would love to see more like this piece.

[♪The Girl Next Door♪]

Thank you :) I've been thinking about doing more like this.

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

We all have our own backstory. What shows on the outside is not all that there is. You have done a wonderful job in writing this. I like the way you presented the different situations in a different color and font. This work offers insight, wisdom, and encouragement.

Thanks so much!

[Coyote Poetry]

Your words are true in the poem. Never know the journey and experience of another till you walk in their shoes. Last lines are fact. We need good friends to keep us heading in the right direction. Thank you for the excellent poem.

This was so moving! It tackles so many issues that people hide and the misconceptions we have of them because of that! I really loved it!
