I remember times before middle school
When I thought everything had magic
Like in the Disney movies I played a hundred times
And I was a princess in my own home
Those times crumbled
After my father faded away
And the other children
Decided they hated me
I didn't understand back then
The terrible words they uttered each day
That painted my world black
And made the magic fade, just like that
'Go kill yourself!'
'You're sick and disgusting!'
'No one loves you!'
'Everything you like is stupid.'
But as I grew older I understood
The words haunted my ears
Every night as I tried to fall asleep
Crying harder each time
And I started to believe them
My walls went up and my anger grew
Like nasty weeds taking over a perfect garden
I hated everything (especially myself)
I'm still not completely healed
I feel like bits are still missing
I only hope I can find them all
Someday very soon
So you see what words can do
To a mind and heart so pure
Tainted by words darker than night
And kids who want nothing more than to see you bleed

isn't it a shame how cruel children can be?

Your poems are very-well written and could hit the deepest part of one's heart. I like how you use your words in your poems, and the way on how you express them. I know this was already made a long time before, but yet, I'd want to compliment your way on making your poems. They are truly wonderful, child.
