Growing Up


Alone, Hell,

Scared, of  Failure.

Longing Accepted.

 

“Popular Group” means

Bullies for Misfits.”

 

Please,

Kindness, Friends,

 

Underdog, Rejects, Outcast.

Freak, Sissy,

Deformed

Pain,

 

Volunteer Freedom,

 

Parents, Mom, Dad

Courage, Strength, Ignore

“Kids being Kids”

 

Angel

Leader,

Overcome,

Accept, Compassion

Respect,

 

Appreciate

Beautiful Relief

 

Chance

Finally Forgive

 

Vulnerability Reminds,

We’re Human
