This is to you.
Walking the hall.
No one knowing what they do.
Slowly you start to fall.

This is what they say.
Mocking and judging.
They say the way you are is not okay.
Slowly you go on, begrudging.

This is what they do.
They say cruel things.
They say there is something wrong with you.
Slowly, they pull on your strings.

This is how they act.
They gossip and shove.
Its as if they have made an evil pact.
Slowly you start to lose your love.

This is what you do.
They break you and inside, you start to cry.
You feel there is nothing left to do.
And slowly, you die.

This is to you.
The ones who people don't understand.
I am sorry for peoples actions and what they do.
Some people just don't get what is outside their wonderland.
This is a poem I wrote for my Creative Writing class. So many people have told me how much they liked it and how much it affected them. So I decided to put it up here too. I hope you all enjoy it.

Its very well done, I always like the theme of going against the current. And to throw wonderland in there is fun too (I helped co-write a story about a dark twisted version of wonderland, I was the Mad Hatter :D )

I like the use of strong, forward words with blunt meanings. They're not mysterious. The message is clear and that is a good thing for poems like this.
