you see those kids in the halls,
you see them lonely, depressed,
sad or stressed
you see them trying to escape from reality with ear-buds i their ear,
and you think,its just family issues, you need to open your eyes and see what the real problem is,
you or one of your friends
pushed them around,
leaving them hopeless.
sure it may be family issues,
but if you think about it,
i could be you, open your eyes,
look at what you did to them,
your the reason they are what they are, they do what they do, why do you think the family issues occur, not just from home, you could of caused that person to cut their arms, the parents think its their fault, but the harsh reality is you are the cause of it all,realize their pain,
their agony, and think, what if that was you, wit the cuts on your arms getting shoved into lockers and just simply pushed around.
all they want is to be free from it all,so they self-harm hoping to just end it all, all the tears,
and all the pain.
if you keep going you may have their death on YOU'RE hand,
do you really want that?
give them a choice they deserve to be normal.... to be free,
not by death no, by being aloud to be normal to not be an outsider.
they are human like you and me
no difference


The author's comments:
this goes out to all the people (mostly teens) who think its funny to push other people around. maybe this will give them an idea of what the other people feel like and hopefully make them realize that we are all the same no one is different, we are all human. its no use to bully some kid. they should stand in the other kids shoes for a while then see if its still okay to push them around. if they don't change their minds,or their attitude, then they are just plain stupid. also sorry if this doesn't seem like a free verse poem i'm not very good at writing
