    very good even if it isn't a poem
    i'm sorry that happened to you
    andi hate it when people do that, where i am i the freak/emo/goth/crazy/weird girl
    the only reason they think i'm crazy is that went ape on someguy for calling me a freak... now no one calls me any of those names and i'm left alone expetfor the few people who enjoy my company ^-^

    Guy, Girl, Man, Woman, White, Black,Asian, Hispanic, Spanish. It doesn't matter. We all have emotions and I literally verbally attack people who don't think so.

    Why? Because people are bastards. And everyone is categorized. Even those who don't deserve to be. It happens in life. I'm called a racist, taunted, humiliated, made to feel ashamed of the country that I love, all because I'm white and I'm South African. That's my only sin.

    And you know why it's that way? Because life is unfair. Life is unjust. Life hurts. Life sucks. You can be sorry, you can be sorry all you like. You can want to change, want to be different, want with all your heart to not be who you are. You can repent over and over and over for the sins of people you didn't even know, that you aren't even related to. And I suppose we have to get used to it, to live with it. Not because we want to, because you will find that in life wanting is not always enough, hardly ever. Because we have to. It's what we have to do to survive.

    I'm sorry that this is long and that this may sound whiney and pathetic but the moral of it is that I know what you're going through. Well maybe not exactly. But I know that I can at least relate on some level to what you're going through. Because I know how much it hurts when people turn on you because you're simply being who you are. And I know the pain that racism brings. I know just how hard it can be. And I know that it'll never be the same and that I can't quite bring myself to sympathize with you fully, since I am young, and I'm not fully versed in the ways of the world. But I know quite a bit. And I know what it's like living without the one that you love, and how especially hard it is since it wasn't your choice, that someone else tore you apart, against your wishes.

    I just want to let you know that I'm here for you. I know what it's like to cry bitter bitter tears. And I may be young but I'll always be there if you need me. Like your sister said, I have 'wisdom' beyond my years, and maybe, just maybe, I can use that to help you just a little bit. Of course there's not much that I can do, other than keep this mini-novel of a comment short. But I'll try. Cos you're my friend. And even though I can never ease this burden completely off your shoulders and take it from you, maybe I could help make the path that you have to follow while carrying it just a little easier to walk along.

    Sorry for the long comment, I find it hard to stop once I get going.

    Putting emotions into words is good, and sometimes its better to tell someone just to get out all the of it.

    I'm always here online or not. Just IM me, my eyes are on AP when ever then can, and i love listening and helping friends.

    It's Good and i tottally agree with the message/lesson. Because my parents expect me to let them pick my 'husband' for 'me'. probably wouldn't let me marry the guy of my choice =[ because i like emo, i guess most would put it or scene kidna guys and they'd be all like this girl's Dad like my Dad already is. i just hope when the time comes and whoever my scene boy in skinnny jeans with a guitar(lol) is that my parents do accept, because if they don't, i have no problem breaking ties with my family because there is one relative my fave aunt, who will love me no matter what.

    man my comment is longass
