Because of you
I can't do all the things I've wanted to do
That day you hit me
I thought I was going to die
In fact, thats what I would rather do
Because of you
But instead I've had to suffer
The pain is horrible
I have to deal with it everyday
Because of you
I've had so many surgies
Because of you
What am I going to do?
I'm so scared
The scar is ugly
There is so much pain
And I can't do anything
Because of you

( This poem is written for someone who I probably will never see again.  He tore my foot when he hit me with his car 9 years ago.  I am now 15 and can't play any sports.  My next surgery is July 5th and I'm scared to death.)

It's so horrible that that has happened to you!  I can't really think of much to tell you, because I can't relate to that, but I can sort of imagine how you must be feeling.  Don't be scared of the next surgery, everything will turn out fine.  Good luck to you!!!!!

dear nikkisweet,
my heart goes out to you. i'm not sure i can fully concieve all the anger and frustration that your words paint a picture of, but i do feel them. i know that the fear that must come with the operations probably doesn't subside as the years go on. but just trust that you'll make it. you have to be strong and you have to fight. not playing sports is not the end of days. there are plenty of other great hobbies out there. and you've found one in poetry; not to mention you've got a talent for it.
keep strivin. you must fight the good fight, anyway you can.

We all got our demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.

Hun, I'm so sorry for what has happened to you, but you shouldn't hold a grudge. It only makes things worse. I'm sure this person never meant to harm you. The only way you can really be defeated by this occurence is if you allow hate to win. Don't. I wish you the best of luck, and I'll remember you in my prayers!
