Things you do not understand
September 10, 2014
You push me down
but its alright,
because the only thing that will cut me
is the tear I shed tonight.
You drag me around
but it's not worth fighting.
because I can find this release in writing.
You laugh at my words,
but the ones that matter to you are
barbie doll, popular, and size two.
You laugh but don't realize
the tears that cut my skin
aren't for me, but for you
because you will never win.

I think your poem is absolutely amazing. I love it because I can relate to it. Nobody know that I write poetry, everyone thinks of me as a bubbly air head with a pretty face. Your poem has really inspired me to speak up about my deeper thoughts and not worry about other people's opinions.
Sympathy is more powerful than any hurtful word you can say.
