The day we were born

The day we were born we had courage and ,

our soul was fresh with life and no mistakes.

People in life have made regrets , my hand

is scar-free yet the people I know have aches .

Pain from their body’s being different , wanting

to look like others when you are original .

Our looks aren’t something people can be taunting

we can’t act as if were invisible .

Being called names isn’t worth using your blade ,

wasting your day on useless time for this .

Since they started to realize it ,we’ll trade

you can make a choice if you want to exists .

She wrote to me telling me its help she needs ,

when in life I tried and failed to please.
