SORRY! -GOOD LUCK!!! (Putting the first 26 parts up here) SOME PARTS +++++++++++ Part 1-@_RainbowTaco_ I'm not the only kid who grew up this way. Surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme. Part 2-@_RainbowTaco_ About stick and stones. As if broken bones hurt more then the names we got called, and we got called them all. Part 3-@AtomCookie So we grew up believing no one would ever fall in love with us. That we'd be lonely, forever. Part 4-@sancho2468 That we'd never meet someone to make us feel like the sun was something they built for us in their toolshed. Part 5-@TheAllMysticEye So broken heartstrings bled the blues as we tried to empty ourselves so we would feel nothing. Don't tell me that hurts less then a broken bone. Part 6-@ That an ingrown life is something that surgeons can cut away, but there is no way for it to metastasize it does. Part 7- @playtaylor She was eight years old. Our first day of grade three when she got called ugly. Part 8-@-snazzcat- We both got moved to the back of the class so we would stop getting bombarded by spitballs. But the school halls were a battleground we found ourselves outnumber day after wretched day, we used to stay inside for recess because outside was worse. Part 9-@LuminousWolfie Outside we'd have to rehearse running away, or learn to stay still like statues, giving no clues that we were there, and in grade five, Part 10-@_krestel_ They taped a sign to the front of her desk that read 'Beware of dog.' To this day, Part 11-@xXSilverflameXx Despite a loving husband, she doesn't think she's beautiful, because of a birthmark that takes up a little less then half her face. Part 12-@OrangeKnight Kids used to say, 'She looks like a wrong answer someone tried to erase, but couldn't quite get the job done.' Part 13-@ And they'll never understand that she's raising two kids who's definition of beauty begins with the word 'Mom.' Part 14-@ Because they see her heart before they see her skin, because she's only ever always been amazing. Part 15-@Predal1en He, was a broken branch grafted onto a different family tree. Adopted. Part 16-@Predal1en Not because his parents opted for a different destiny. He was three when he became a mixed drink of one part left alone and 2 parts tragedy. Part 17-@ Stared therapy in eighth grade, had a personality made up of tests and pills, lived like the uphill's were mountains, and the downhill's were cliffs, four fifths suicidal, a tidal wave of anti-depressants, and an adolescence of being called 'Popper.' Part 18-@ One part because of the pills, 99 parts because of the cruelty. He tried to kill himself in grade ten, when a kid who could still go home to mom and dad had the audacity to tell him, get over it. Part 19-@ As if depression is something that can be remedied by any of the contents found in a first aid kid. To this day, he is a stick of TNT lit from both ends. Part 20-@Plantera Could describe to in detail how the sky bends, and the moments before it's about to fall. And despite an army of friends who all call him an inspiration, Part 21-@_krestel_ He remains a conversation piece between people who can't understand, sometimes being drug free has less to do with addiction, and more to do with sanity. Part 22-@ScatteredLeaves We weren't the only kids who grew up this way, to this day, kids are still being called names. Classics were "Hey stupid." Part 23-@ "Hey spaz." seems like every school has an arsenal of names getting updated every year. Part 24-@ And if a kid breaks in a school, and no one around chooses to hear, do they make a sound? Are they just background noise from a soundtrack stuck on repeat. And people say things like, "Kids can be cruel." Part 25-@ Every school was a big top circus tent, and a pecking order went from acrobats to lion tamers, from clowns to carnies, all of these miles ahead of who we were, we were freaks. Part 26-@ Lobster clawed 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,
OTHER PARTS ++++++++++++ Thumbnail-@catpanther160 Part 27-@sketch_animates While the others slept, we kept walking a tightrope, it was practice, and yeah, some of us fell, Part 28-@ 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, Part 29-@DeepRiver 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! Part 30-@nerdbirds You built a cast around your broken heart and signed it yourself, you signed it, they were wrong. Part 31-@nerdbirds Because maybe you didn't belong to a group or a clique. Maybe they decided to picked you last for basketball, or everything. Part 32-@ Maybe you used to bring bruises and broken teeth to show and tell, but never told because how can you hold your ground if everyone around you wants to burry you beneath it, you have to believe that they were wrong. Part 33-@DeepRiver They have to be wrong. Why else would we still be here? Part 34-@Rainbow896 We grew up learning to cheer on the underdog because we see ourselves in them. We stem from a root planted in the belief that we are not what we were called. Part 35- We are not abandoned cars stalled out and sitting empty on some highway. And if in some way we are, don't worry. We only got out to walk and get gas. We are graduating members from the class of "We made it." Part 36-@Aloidia (DONE) Not the faded echoes of voices crying out, "names will never hurt me." of course... they did. Part 37-@Aloidia (DONE) But our lives will only ever always continue being a balancing act, that has less to do with pain, and more to do with beauty. Credits-@
