RAKT

A Poem by Haley Lynn Thomas

Listen to me closely

Listen to the words I say

You need to hear this

Even if you don’t want to

 

You’re stepping into

A big, brand new world

It may not always be kind to you

So when it isn’t remember this

 

Regardless of the names

In spite of the hate

You just stay the same

Don’t let them change you

 

They’ll knock you down

Baby, get back up

Through it all I’ll love you

And I’ll be there for you

 

My mom used to say to me

"Sweetie, it gets better

Even though the pain seems eternal

I promise you it will fade"


I’d shake my head

And through the tears reply

“You don’t know how it feels”

But you know she was right

 

This world is ugly, Baby

I won’t sugarcoat it

I’ll do all I can to prepare you

I just need you to trust me

 

Listen to me closely

Listen to the words I say

You need to hear this

I love you no matter what
