I'll write this letter upon my skin

by she   May 19, 2008


A little boy left out in the cold
A little boy beaten to a bloody pulp,

This little boy was beat
While I stood by
And did nothing

Oh come on, now do you hate me?
That's okay,
I don't mind,
For I do too

Because you see this little helpless boy was my brother
And I am his sister,
The one who froze like a freaking coward
Oh, yes now turn away and mutter insults but don't worry for I deserve them

So along my skin I write a letter
This letter is two words short
This letter is too late
But along my skin I'll write it anyway

I'm sorry

    This is a very well written poem, but I would rather comment on content .You should not beat yourself up about this unfortunate incident The shame should be that you had to witness this, and on the violent attackers.

    The second you think he hates you...you make him into a monster.
    he's a little boy, monique.
    he doesn't hate you.
