Stand Up For Yourself !!! (Free verse) by Brandy_n_Cali
They say that Our Planet is wasting away from pollution.
Is this true?
Or could it be from Suicides, Gang Violence, Teen Pregnancy, Substance
Abuse, or Ignorance?
A young girl not quite out of Junior High is pregnant.
She sits alone at night, debating if she should tell her parents or the
father.
Killing, Fighting, Innocent children caught in the cross fire. And
for what?
A 17 year old boy steals money from his mom's purse. Later that
night him and his will get high, not even thinking of the concequences
not only from there parents, but their stupidity.
She can't take it anymore, School is diffilcult, her parents just
don't understand. She goes to the roof of her school for time to sort
out her problems. Then she steps off the edge of good-bye.
A whisper of Truth.
Killing another for pride.
Dreams thrown away by Addictions, Racism, and Suicide.
Ignoring the pain and even the cries. Because of fear and others lies.
STAND-UP FOR YOURSELF!!!
Don't let them write a book about your life and shove it on a shelf.
Pollution might be a big problem.
But, killing and fighting over the colors red and blue doesn't help.
The extreme numbers of teen pregnancies isn't helping. Drugs are not the
way out. Suicides don't solve problems, it begins them. Different
shades of colors on people do not matter.
