SHAMED // By: Melissa H.
Tripping over wires of
The mental lies
Society tells us to hide
Behind a disguise
We're not hoping to drown
Under the lies
But sadly not everyone can survive
Some take their lives
Others just hide until they die
They don't shine in their true light
They're pushed further
And deeper into the night
So that they can forget themselves
Without a fight
They Are shamed
and beaten
Emotionally and physically
No one helps them survive
we are taught
That being different is wrong
Skin colour and all
We are treated differently if we are not
What society thinks we should be
And this is just so wrong
Everyone is different yet
We are forced to be the same
Unless we want to be shamed
And thrown down a flight of 100 stairs of
emotional pain
