Poem #1
When I was a child I would go outside and play in the grass. I remember getting grass stains all over my clothes.We used to go to our friends house and stay out all hours of the night not wanting to come in. We were innocent, not knowing all the things that were about to come our way, not knowing all the pain and suffering that people go through. We didn’t understand why parents were screaming at each other. As you get older you don’t want to play anymore, you learn how to get stains out of your clothes, you don’t start to experience pain and suffering, you have thoughts in your head that tell you you’re not good enough. We find out the reason why our parents are screaming is because they are not happy anymore. We learn no matter what people are going to judge us. People are going to use you and you’re not going to know why. We have to stay strong because that’s the only way we are going to make it out alive.
