π§π€π§π€π§π€π§π€π§π€π§π€π§π€π§π€π§
Despised By All, Battered, Stabbed And You All Left Me For Dead
Even Those Who Called Me Friend, Showered Me With Their Disdain
Begged For A Little Conversation. My Pleas Went Unheard
Read The Riot Act, I Was Instructed Not To Complain
I Am The Debris Surrounding Your Supposed Perfection
Shattered Remains To Be Swept Away And Then Forgotten

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Deep, but well expressed. I have to try one of these poetry forms - acrostic. Nice job, Mike.
This poem gives one a lot to think about in my opinion. Good job.
Well written and so powerful, Mike <3
Such a powerful and relatable poem, Mike. I love how art can inspire writing in so many ways.
Very Well Done Mike!
I can relate. I feel like this daily. Most people donβt talk to me, and those who do I donβt want to talk to, lol: Fantastic acrostic. Wonderful! Hope this gets top story! Seriously well done!
