Brilliant, this really moved me, your word choice was excellent, and thanks for the comments on my poetry, it means a lot.
Keep writing :]

I feel like i can relate to this alot. thank you for writting it. i enjoyed reading, almost like a flash back to my own past. deja vu almost...

i liked the rhyme too ^_^

If only they touched the heart that
Still beats
Then maybe they'd feel the warmth
They defeat

that was amazing, truly well written and heartfelt. the structure really makes the poem breath taking. But all that aside hun, you don't want to be one of those people, because when all is said and done, they have only succeeded in making you stronger and they still will have to learn the lessons you have. They've put you ahead.
