People can call me contagious
People can point and they can stare
It doesn't matter that you think of me less
Just because someone told you to be scared
Why do you listen to them
When they tell you I'm not worth your time
When they tell you I'm worthless and dim
Just because they're lives aren't like mine
Again and again I've tried to explain
That the things they say can't be true
They're parasites feeding off my pain
And trying to push it on you to
Why listen to their rumors
Why not ask me for the truth
It's not my fault I have this tumor
Just because I'm not what they call normal isn't an excuse
And one day I'll look back and roll my eyes
At the things they said back then
Because everything they said was just their disguise
The only way they think they can win
But it just so happens nothing they said was important
It didn't have to effect my life
Because today I realized what they ment
By telling others I was going to die
So next time I go into the operation room
I'll keep my mind off their lies
Because even if my end comes to soon
They don't have to be the my last thoughts before I die
They can say whatever they wish
As long as they know I did nothing wrong it was up to fate
Because one day they're gonna wish
That they'd said sorry before it was to late

I feel the same... i may die tomorrow... i could get hit by a car or anything... and people are gonna wish they made up with me before it happened... but at the same time it makes me think i wanna say sorry to everyone i hurt before i run outta time... Something to think about really...
Thanks so much for entering and best of luck in the contest x -
wow, this really touched me..if this is about you i am sorry to hear that you have complications like this. but you know what you said in this poem was totally true. peoples negative remarks shouldn't affect you so much, their really not worth the time. my favorite lines were,
"It's not my fault I have this tumor
Just because I'm not what they call normal isn't an excuse
And one day I'll look back and roll my eyes
At the things they said back then
Because everything they said was just their disguise
The only way they think they can win"

Thank You for entering and Good Luck
