We Are The Damaged Ones

We Are The Damaged Ones

A Poem by Young&Reckless
"

Going through what I've gone through, I've gotten the ability to get a sense for when people who have gone or are going through something similar. Thats who this is about.

We Are The Damaged ones

 

We’re the suicidal freaks,

The hot-tempered,

The loners,

The anorexic,

The invisible ones,

We are what the outside world says we are,

 

From underneath the general publics shoes,

We sit with no voice and let our self-hate devour us,

The world’s judgment has led us to believe there’s no one for us to confide in,

No one to trust,

No one who will stay up late just to make sure we make it through the night,

 

You felt powerful when you called Taylor anorexic,

But you don’t see that you’re just repeating the words of her mother,

But she’ll wake up tomorrow and face you again to take your power away,

You felt cool when you called James a loner,

But you don’t understand that he’d rather be alone ‘cause then no one can walk out of his life like his mother did,

 

You felt strong when you told Jeff to go to anger management

But you can’t see his temper comes from watching his drunken father beat his mother,

But he’ll try to keep his cool tomorrow to weaken you,

 

It made you feel big when you called Jay a suicidal freak-

The same kid they pulled in from a third story window last night

But he will live just to prove you wrong,

 

You categorize us by what you think,

Not by what you know,

But what you don’t know is,

Damaged people are dangerous because we know we can survive,

Anything.
