First entry must go to a very special piece of writing that I wrote last year, which is one of my prized pieces. My teacher wanted to get this poem published :3 This is about accepting other people, and taking a walk in their shoes for a day. Just kind of taking a step back and showing you how saying something bad about another person could seriously affect them. Hope you like it! heart
Anonymity
By Kim
As you talk about him
While he sits alone
Over there in that lonely corner,
I'd like to tell you
He's just another person.
What if you
Took a walk in his shoes?
You would wake up in the morning
Looking at the sky through your ceiling,
And you would go downstairs,
Experiencing an empty feeling.
But you know there will be
No food for the time being.
You would gather your things
And catch the metro
But if you missed it
There would be three miles to go.
You would get to school
And be pushed around
Because you wore those clothes
Yesterday and the day before.
Once in class,
Teachers would mutter your name
And kids would speed up by you
Because your shower's broken.
And at lunch,
You wouldn't get food,
You would sit alone,
Because nobody would want you.
Crying because your stomach hurts,
Your heart aching for all the things
You never had.
You would sprint out the doors
At 3 o'clock
Because if you're out late,
You'd miss the stray cat
Down on the dock.
You would get home
And put up your feet,
Wondering where your parents were,
Worrying you may never re-meet.
You would curl up,
And scream in pain
Because nobody would love you
Nobody would care
Nobody would smile
When you were there.
So hear me, child.
He's going through enough.
Can you not be
His diamond in the rough?
Go up to him,
Ask him his name.
You'd be surprised
About how much
You're the same.
