A
TARE IN MY SOUL
By Dolly Lee
They say we're all
created equal.
God's children
loved the same.
So why do you condemn
me,
And cause me so
much pain?
I am a human being.
I live and breathe
like you.
I have a soul inside
me.
I am God's child
too.
You laugh at me,
you spit on me,
You call me horrible
things.
You beat on me
and abuse me,
Ignoring the tears
it brings.
The pain you've
caused is unbearable.
Deeper then you
could know.
It ripped apart
my happiness.
Stabbed deep into
my soul.
So many days I walked
this earth,
Thinking I didn't
belong.
But was never sure
what it was,
That I had done
so wrong.
I am physically
disabled.
I have a very sick,
weak heart.
Is it because of
this,
You tore my soul
apart?
Even though my heart
was sick,
I always woke up
happy.
I cherished every
moment I had,
And the life that
God gave me.
Then my happiness
was robbed from me,
You stole it all
away.
I cried myself
to sleep each night,
Afraid to face
each day.
After years of being
beat on,
Called stupid,
weird, and freak,
My soul started
crumbling,
And my emotions
became weak.
I started to believe
your words,
That I was worth
nothing.
That somehow I
must deserve,
The terror that
kept coming.
You knocked me into
a deep depression.
Even kicked me
while I was down.
But I fought against
your demons,
And have my feet
back on the ground.
I am no longer in
your school of terror.
My soul has begun
to heal.
But the pain you
caused will linger forever.
A pain I will always
feel.
As I struggle to
get my happiness back,
I wish for you
one thing.
To learn from this
life you almost destroyed,
And stop the bullying!
