The Cold Hard Truth


"Freak

Geek

She's sweet

Oh please 

Stop with the name calling

While in far away places soldiers are falling

Babies are crying

                 Starving

                 Parting   ways

With family the haven't seen in days 

This should make you all feel shamed

To think you bully, while others are in pain

What's to gain?

It won't bring you fame

Your excuses are lame

And this world needs to change

They support gay people

While there are still stray people

Who need homes

           And love

         And hope 

       From above

Not signs that say "girls can love each other!"

Or,"maybe they're not brothers"

When children are dying in the hands of their mothers

While they think,why did this sickness ever have to trouble us?

If only someone could hav helped

But instead we kept to ourselves

Until all that's left is our shells."

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
