My soul's story has no beginning.
It has no end.
It is a tale told countless times,
But no one listens.

My soul yearns to be heard,
But it cannot be heard by ignorance.
I can only be heard by love.
A pure love.
Can you not hear my soul crying?
Won't you listen?
Listen to its pleas,
Set it free,
Open the cage.
Will you not listen?
Do you refuse?
And still my soul's story is untold,
For you remained deaf to the tale.

My soul's story has no beginning.
It has no end.
It is a tale told countless times.
But no one listens.
No one cares.

The author's comments:
This piece is for all those poor souls out there that have no voice and cannot speak out against their abusers. This is not just for people being bullied in school, but also for those being abused around the world. People being bullied are dying to be heard but no one listens. They say that people will grow up, but they don't realise that experiencing their immaturity day in and day out, damages our souls forever. They may grow up, but we will always have the scars.

Beautifully written. This is so true. I was bullied in elementary school because I was the only girl that hung out with the boys that played with Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I can relate to these feelings. Good job :)
