My wings have been shattered

My wings have been shattered

My wings have been shattered
By people who tormented me as if it didnt even matter

Because I was different the kid with the red hair
Some people acted like I wasnt even there

Like I didnt exist or was some sort of ghost
The clown show was in town and I was the host

Being bullied in school well before it was a big deal
Just drained my self worth and I began not to feel

Try to climb the social ladder
but my wings would be shattered

The years went on and being tormented and teased
I felt like everyone hated me and the devil was pleased

No one ever stood up for me or lent me a hand
I was the lost soul in the sand

As I got older I realized the scars ran deeper than I thought
I fell into their trap and I was caught

The trap was to break you down and make you feel worthless
Like running down an endless alley trying to make it hurt less

I used humor to hide my pain and its a short term solution
It was time to start a revolution

So anyone out there that feels the way I did listen
Stand up and be yourself let yourself shine and your eyes glisten

They cant take away your dreams
Make them here your screams

Being different is a gift that should not be wasted
Show them who you are and the sweetness shall be tasted

People that pick on you are afraid of you and they have their own issues
Walk on by them and throw them a tissue

They are craving the attention they will get madder
Dont let your wings get shattered

Never change who you are you make the world go round
With your wings you can fly the others will just drown

It may be too late for me but this message is for the younger generation
Be strong never lose your determination

After all the teasing and insults have been traded
My heart was jaded

Built up walls to keep people out
I also locked myself away and couldnt shout

Fly free climb the ladder
and remember your wings cant be shattered

Be who you are not what others want you to be
and your wings will carry you to a place where you will be free

Being who you are is all that matters
For me well my wings have been shattered

But you still can fly and touch them all that touched you / great poem thanks for sharing.. I love red heads...

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
