They Were Wrong
They push and shove us
 They call us stupid
 Ugly, Fat
 R*****, F**
 W****, And more than that
 They say words don’t hurt
 But they cut deep
 They left red lines on his wrist
 On her legs, and thighs
 They were wrong about you
 You were smart, and strong
 But they broke you
 They destroyed something
 That was more beautiful 
 Than they can wrap their heads around
 One day he cut too deep
 One day she took to many
 People say they gave no signs
 I ask are you blind?
 Are you deaf? 
 Did you not see her tears?
 Did you not hear his cries?
 She begged you to say something
 He didn’t hide them to show them off
 He did it so someone would help him
 They just needed someone to care
 Someone to hold them and say it’s going to be ok
 They were wrong
 They hurt you
 They stabbed you
 They made you wish you were never born
 They hit you
 They didn’t know you
 They didn’t know how sweet and kind you were
 How truly beautiful your voice was
 How your hair just fell perfectly 
 Your smile lit up a room when you walked in
 Everyone always watched you walk by
 Graceful and happy
 They didn’t know that big secret you kept
 The scars they couldn’t see
 They laugh and point
 They remind you “cut across not up and down”
 They don’t know what you deal with
 A single mom
  A deadbeat dad
 Abuse, Rape, and they just add on
 They say kids can be cruel
 No kids can be evil
 The words they say just add to his cuts
 She counted every person that had ever said anything 
 Mean to her and that’s how many pills she took
 After they left, They were shocked
 How could this happen?
 They seemed happy
 But they were wrong
 Their hurt was darker and deeper 
 Than anyone could see
 Those of us left we see that most of us are gone
 Everyday we start to lose another one
 Because no one cares about us
 No one took the time to say something
 They were wrong about you
 you are Beautiful, sweet and smart
 Those of us left we’re survivors   
 We are the proud and strong
 We will stay standing till the last one falls
 You were wrong about us
