Tainted Blood Poem by Terri A

'Shut Up! '

'Be Quiet! '

'Shhhh! '

They silence me...



'Go away! '

'Move! '

'Disappear! '

They don't want me...



'You're Annoying! '

'You're Ugly! '

'You Stink! '

'You're Trash! '

'You're Dumb! '

'Why don't you just die? ! '



Maybe I should take their advice...?



You're Beautiful!

You are my Life!

You are my Love!

You're Brave!

You are Safe!



What I want to share today,

is that you shouldn't let

the bad things take

your joy away.



There is always a rainbow

after the storm;

and, I wanted to remind you

to stay strong.



Don't taint your blood

for those that did you wrong.

Don't waste it on the things

that make you frown.



REMEMBER:

You Can

Become The Light

That Shines

Over All of

The Darkness
