A Poetic Moment.

I’d like to dedicate this to all the people out there who’ve been teased, hurt, laughed at. The nerds and dorks as we’re often called.

Your pain penetrates
deep into me

when I see you hurting
I hurt in a way you cannot imagine

I wish I could say I do not understand
sometimes
but I can’t
all too well I understand
the pain you feel

the pain you feel
when they hit you
when they touch you
when they laugh, and point

Every time you cry
a peice of me dies

This world
this world that’s supposed to be so
caring
so understanding
so welcoming and loving
it tears you down
it tears me down

I ache like most can only imagine
deep inside
for you, for myself
and for others like us

This world
a world that is so cruel
so inunderstanding
is not soon changing
all we can do
is join together and help
pick up the peices
of all the other broken lives

This gave me chills, Brandi. You are very expressive.
