I know the Truth Despite the tears I shed because of you A small smile spreds across my face Despite the pain I feel because of you I realize another side to this case What you don't want to realize I know the truth You knew deep down you hurt me All those times you were cruel and uncouth You may have won that battle And you may win the war But one thing is for sure I won't sit back and take it anymore You say I'm just hurting myself In the end you might be right I'm not gonna make the same mistake again To just give up without a fight But that one day You're gonna see me again And this time there won't be insults You'll have no time to begin Cuz you're gonna see me I'll laugh and smile then walk on by I'll be so pretty and confident You might just have enough breath to manage a "hi" I know now That you're not better than me And maybe deep down you're jealous Cuase you wish you could be |

Everyone- I wrote this about all the people, most of them don't know me very well, that said mean things and gave me cruel looks just because I wasn't skinny like them. I'm a whole lot thinner now, but I still think I'm fat, eventhough people tell me I'm not. People like them need to realize how much they hurt other people and what it can make those people do. If you've ever read any of my other poems, you know that some people I know acuse me of seeming like I'm starting to get an eating disorder. And if those people are right, maybe it's becuase of the people that said all those things to me and about me. I wrote this in sort of a moment of anger, mostly towards them. So all of you, do know that I still feel the same way as I have in all the other poems, this is just another side of me. I'll go ahead and just shut up now, thank's for reading all of this crap. Gracias- Bel |

Powerful writing Bel! Wow! Now with a positive attitude like that ... I think you're going to do fine in life. I really do believe that people who "make bad comments" on ANY aspect of someone else's lives are the ones who need to be pitied. To boost their self esteem by lowering another's, shows just how truly shallow "they" are. They won't get far in life Bel ... they never do. Stand up, head held high, and just be the wonderful person that we've come to know here ... great writing!  Best wishes, /Kit |

I must agree with Kit! Bel, you've evolved so much since I've first talked to you. It is true and will remain true forever that the cruel words of others can be hurtful to the mind and body. That is why eating disorders and plastic surgery exist.  Sadly enough, not everyone has the same attitude as you girl! You are amazing. Just keep your head up and ignore them like they deserve!

This is very well written, thank you for sharinng it with us! You've told of this problem in a great way here, adding in the payback factor. Keep up the great poetry! "I know now That you're not better than me And maybe deep down you're jealous Cuase you wish you could be" |

Bel, I too have struggled with my weight and have had so many people ridicule me for being heavy. I've lost 45lbs and kept it off for 2 years now, but that still doesn't erase the hurt those people caused...extremely powerful work here, you've done a wonderful job!  *Krista Knutson* "Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you." |

me gustø el poema bastante. I find that in most cases, obeisity is jut a mental state. I used to be really fat too (untill martial arts and a LOT of sit-ups happened). A lot of times I think I'm getting fat again, then I just look in the miror and see that it's not the case. My metabolism just doesn't let it happen. (It doesn't let me bulk up like I want to either though) |

Bel. This is such a powerful poem, I really connected to it..whatever their appearance, people just love to pick on others who are different, and it hurts I know, but that attitude you showed there promises alot. Keep posting "Controlling my feelings for too long.... And forcing our darkest souls to unfold... And pushing us into self-destruction...." *~Muse*~ |

"I know now That you're not better than me And maybe deep down you're jealous Cuase you wish you could be" Wow... what a message! I know what you've gone through, because I'm not very thin or pretty. I just hope that someday I obtain the confedence and self-respect that you possess. Good luck in the future!

Everyone, thank you all so much for reading and replying it means so much! Kit- Yes I totally agree that people like that are shallow, and it's amazing how many people really are. Jess- I totally understand. Thanks for always being there, you have no idea how much it helps to have someone to talk to! Lauren- Thanks so much, but I doubt it's better than any of yours Lakewalker- Thanks, I didn't think it was that good when I wrote it, but I guess you guys would know better than I would, I'm stil new at this stuff! Alwye- Thanks! I don't think the hurt people cuase ever get's erased or that we ever forget it, I guess we just feel better about it in time. Jose- !Gracias! It's great that you've kept that off, I know I can partially relate to that Lani_DarkOne- Yes, very true, people have probably always done that and maybe they always will *sigh* but thanks! Erin- I know what you mean, but I still let them bother me, they just don't know that I let them bother me. Yeah, they'll get what they deserve in the end. Thanks! LoveBug- Well, I wish I could agree with you about my self-respect and confidence. I am a perfectionist, and that is where my school/life related confidence comes from, as for other confidence, I don't really think I have any. Self-respect? I don't know much about that. Sorry, but thanks a bunch! ****Okay, everyone, I don't want to sound pessimistic or anything, but I guess what I should say is that this poem was a different kind that I usually write, where I was more angry and optimistic than anything else. I guess this is just a side of me you've never seen before. Thank you all SO much!!!! Bel |
