This poem goes out to Amanda Todd, a 15 year old girl who killed herself due to intense bullying on 10/10/12...I could not sleep until I wrote this dedication to her. Her story has broken my heart and makes me want to support any organazation that stands up against bullying. R.i.p beautiful.
Amanda Todd,
I've never wrote to someone I've never met.
I've never wept over someone I never knew,
but tonight, I will do both in honor of you.
I am furious. I am disgusted. I am hopeless.
I was your "someone". If only I had read
your story, Amanda I would have found you.
I would have been your mentor, your big
sister, your best friend, whatever you needed.
I am so sorry its too late. I'm so sorry I never
had the chance to tell you all the things you
deserved to hear. Things like:
You are beautiful. You are funny. You are a dreamer.
You have a purpose. You are stronger than you think.
Now that you're gone, I have a glass heart
that lies on the floor of my stomach in pieces.
I wish I could have had one day with you, one hour,
to carress your long hair, massage the scars
off your wrist, and whisper in your ear "I love you".
I love you for who you were. I love you for who
you were about to become. I love you because
I was called to love the blind, the poor, the needy.
You were blind to your true potential.
You were poor to others, but rich in spirit.
You were needy for attention, but received the wrong kind.
Amanda, I would have given anything to know you.
I would have been the first one to call you in the a.m
and say "What are our plans today? When can I see you?"
I would have added you on facebook and posted
pics of ecards that made you laugh, of babies that'd
make you smile, of vacation spots we could have traveled to.
I can only hope that your story brings karma unto
those involved because you did not take your life-
they murdered you.
They acted like they were more righteous than you,
that mistakes were not tolerable in this evil world,
that you were the scum of the Earth, but really
you were just dust from it that God had designed
for a reason.
I wish you could have seen that.
I wish I could have told you.
Her Final Video..I wish I would have seen it sooner. Sometimes we need to reach out to complete strangers :(
