This place


When I was a kid I 

Didn't undersand

Why people

Would beg to leave this place

They would call it boring

and ugly

and terrible

It was only until now that

I understand

It wasn't the place

It was the people

This world we live in

offers such beauty

but its often the people

that make it ugly

Every day when I was a little kid I was physically and mentally abused even now it continues but through poetry i can relive my pain and let go for a little bit.
