Never Lost

July 14, 2011
By Anonymous

Pain is what you feel when you fall down and scrape your knee. Pain is the feeling of being left and abandoned in the cold, while your tears drip off your soft cheek after your body was used as a man's toy. It's physical and mental abuse you suffer your whole life when you're beaten,and put down from morning to night every day of the week from family and people you know. Even a band-aid won't make the sting of your scraped knee disappear,a friend's kind words won't help the fact that you were left in the dark with nothing left but your pride,that was slowing fading as well, and Advil won't make the memories of the cold hand that rose up soft and slow, but that came down hard and fast vanish like it never happened. Once you this simple four letter word, it's never lost.

This poem I wrote because all of my friends, and myself, have felt some kind of pain, from harsh words to physical abuse. I see them starve themselves because people call them fat, or I see them pop pills because they were neglected and feel like they have nothing left.
