Take Loud Steps
When steps are heard
Looks are exchanged
And head bowed
Tears won't help now
So they'll take the hits in silence
And spare a smile only for the other
When young, learn well
Those who walk hardest
Hit hardest as well
Those who walk softest
Can run the fastest
Though the faster you run
The more it hurts to get caught
In the home, someone walks harder
But leave the home
And you know
How to walk harder then them all
They don't know and you do
And that makes you better doesn't it?
Walk hard and hit hard
And maybe it'll be okay

16 year old poet, presenting. I don't know how often I'll write, or what I'll write about, or if I'll write. Because sometimes I'm there, sometimes I'm not. The username is from an anime/manga because sometimes we need to be a little childish. Plus, you can thank KID for getting me into poetry. I don't know what else to say? Hello. It's nice to meet you. How's the weather? (Yes, my icon is a bit of a joke. Hope it makes you smile.)
