Recently my class watched a video called To This Day written by Canadian poet, Shane Koyczan.
"Every school was a big top circus tent
and the pecking order went
from acrobats to lion tamers
, from clowns to carnies. Aall of these were miles ahead of who we were
we were freaks
, lobster claw boys and bearded ladies,
oddities
juggling depression and loneliness playing solitaire spin the bottle
trying to kiss the wounded parts of ourselves and heal
. But at night
while the others slept
we kept walking the tight rope
it was practice
and yeah
some of us fell. But I want to tell them
that all of this
is just debris
left over when we finally decide to smash all the things we thought
we used to be
and if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself
get a better mirror
look a little closer
stare a little longer
because there’s something inside you
that made you keep trying
despite everyone who told you to quit. You built a cast around your broken heart
and signed it yourself
you signed it
they were wrong”.
But this video was not just a 'feel bad about yourself let others feel his pain' it was to show that we need to feel good about ourselves no matter what anyone thinks about us. If people don’t like us for who we are they are not a real friend. We all are mean sometimes because we have all said something mean. If we are mad or sad it does not make it okay to let our anger out on other people.
Most people will make a mean side comment to their friends and think its okay but it makes people really sad. We don’t always realize it but that does not mean you are a bad person, its just showing you that what you are doing is wrong. Some people like to be alone and hide in the shadows but most people don’t and if you are like me you want to be yourself you want to live life while you can. Most people don’t even know what they're doing is wrong but we do and so you need to tell them not let them rule you. I am not worried for high school like every one else because I’m not afraid to be myself.
My class has recently read a book called wonder. their ' this boy named august he has a cleft palet and a boy named julian called him a freak and a boy named jack punched him and did the write thing and he got sespended for that and a kid named julain has said to over 500 hunderd people that jack has the pleague and told that jack punched him for fun and his mom is head of the school board and sent an email to jacks parents I think it was an acsdent and I hope it wont happen again but I think the new kid in the school is adding an adintoal berdin of stress with his speical needs and am hoping he leaves the school soon. julains mom photo shoped augusts face out of the class photo for parents and they dont relay care if she did or not. jacks dad said in a mad but sarcastic email saying thanks for caring about my kid so mutch he said he is fine and thanks for letting jack stay at this school. My thoughts are imagine how heartless you would have to be and after the party julan threw no one but summer and august would talk to jack. I relay want to make a change because of this book imagine waking up every day and people reject you disinclude you and bully you because you look diffrent. I have experianced not being included and bulled and called names because of my persanality I thought No one new how I felt but lots of peope do make a change
Thanks for al the views and follow me on Instagram @mlgproscoper
