Poetry for the Pained

The Pain of Words

"Fatty, Fatty, has no friends!!"
"Ugly bitch, she has no friends."
"He's so gay! Haha, he's probably still a virgin!"

-Do you realize how much your words hurt others?
Do you understand the pain that smothers?-

We stand in the mirror, telling ourselves we're overweight, ugly, unappreciated, neglected, un-needed.

I understand. I feel like my body is a sin, something that was never meant to happen.

We, in different ways, beat ourselves up over these comments. The words hurt, but what hurts the most is admitting it's true.

If only we could one day look into the mirror, and see the beauty within our flaws.

We all want to be normal and fit in, but fuck those bitches. Your true colors are the only thing that tells the difference between the rest of our peers.

A.N.// This wasn't much of a poem, but I realized how much I hate myself, and thought the need to write something. I hope this gives strength to all the people kind enough to read my poetry. Thank you all!
