Troubled Minds
Location
You're not really sick!
You just want attention!
You just want to be treated differently!
That's what they cry
Their words becoming sticks and stones
That break my soul, mind, and bones
Yet nobody does anything!
The adults that are supposed to show us right from wrong
These so called teachers who shape our young minds
Do nothing but sit back and watch
Claiming that the others are doing nothing wrong
That they didn't see or hear anything
While they calmly look on as I'm torn to shreds
Where is the light in this black hole?
Is there no escape?
Please don't say that I'm stuck here for all eternity
.....
I scream as I wake in a cold sweat
Eyes flitting nervously about my room
While my new found friends rush to my side
Silent words flowing forth from caring thoughts
As warm arms wrap around me in comfort.
Dreams of my past
Of days recently gone by
Will haunt me for awhile still
But I know now that such tortures aren't for eternity
And that a peaceful place for one to rest
Will appear once the long storm has passed.
For while they say nothing good ever lasts,
Nothing bad can either.
