a hymn to those we've left behind. [poem]

we've left you to the wolves.

while we sit,

happy in the roses,

you fight your battle quietly,

without a complaint.



because to complain would,

be a mistake,

a mistake too large and with no solution.



oh how i wish there was a solution.

it's so obvious to me that we've forgotten you;

been so foolish and left you to fend for yourself.

for that i am truly sorry.

and i hope you know that.



actions speak louder than words,

i know,

but it's hard to do anything,

when i don't even know,

if,

we have left you behind at all.



it's too complicated.

i wish i could just out-rightly ask you.

but that is cruel,

twisted,

and,

selfish.

but it's also,

so.

much.

easier.



there is so much that you're missing out on,

and everytime i get to enjoy these spoils,

i can't help but think of you.



hopefully one day,

you can be who you are.

hopefully,

one day you can enjoy the same things i am lucky enough to.



i will pray for that day comes soon for you.

you deserve to be yourself.

without the discrimination;

and remarks;

and hate.



your friends don't understand.

but i do, i promise.

the others... not so much.

you're too unlike them,

which is very hypocritical,

i know,

they just don't understand,

yet.



all i can do is,

hope and pray:

you are not bringing yourself,

to any harm or,

in danger at home.

i really hope that you aren't.

however,

it's honestly too naive of me.

and that hurts so much.
