So, I have been listening to the Bars&Melody song Hopeful on repeat for a few days now, and I began to realize how I got so caught in my own little problems that I forgot about the big ones.
Charlie and Lebronde (B&M) have written this amazing rap on anti bullying and honestly I cannot stop listening to it.
As an Asian person, I had the experience of being hit with a sandal or wooden spoon(desi vibes), but there are kids who get truly abused with bigger pains.
So I wrote a poem/song.
Keep in mind that I'm not any good at this kind of stuff, so it isn't that well done.
Wake up everyday
With the same old pain
My body covered in bruises & scars
Not even the kind you can wash in the rain
Sometimes I wish I could run
As far as Mars
My parents blame me for all their mess
Say they cause them so much stress
I wanna be a good kid
Problem is,
I don't know what I did
Mother grabs me by the collar
And slams me down
I end up on the floor
Looking like some sort of clown
With a sore body
I stand up to make lunch
Trying to make it ready
Before my father comes home
I shed a few tears cause
I feel alone
If the food ain't ready by then
Father has a change of plan
Picks up the hot spoon from stove
I cower in fear with no hope
As he hits me and let's my skin go black
Telling me I deserve it
For making a muck
They tell me I'm safe
There's a government out there
To give me a good place
But all they care about is the game of fame
Or how much money they make
They don't give a s***
About the give and take
Of daily lives being lost
They only remember
How many votes they got
For charities we are just
Another tick on the bucket list
They're all just blinded
By the mist
This poem hasn't been completed, but I don't know what else to write.
My poetry skills aren't that good, this was just a small attempt.
The important bit is the message the I'm sending out there.
Make sure to listen to the song above, of will reach deep within you.
Here are some of the lyrics:
Please help me God,
I feel so alone
I'm just a kid
I can't take it on my own
I've cried so many tears
Whilst writing this song
Whatever the cause is that you are fighting for, make it worth it and truly give it your best to resolve the problem.
Don't sit around waiting for others to do it.
We can always contribute.
