Message Of Hope: A Poem For Those Struggling

My name is Ella, and I am 13 years old. I wrote this poem for all those people who feel hopeless and lost in a fog of darkness. I just want to remind all of you that there is hope in this shallow world and that you DO matter.

For All Those People

This is for all those people
Who hide in the dark,
For those who feel hopeless,
For those with a broken heart.

This is for every child and teen
Who is trying to flee from their fears,
For those who cry themselves to sleep,
For those who drown in their tears.

This is for people who hide their scars
Upon their wrists and their thighs.
I want to remind each of you
There is a reason you're alive.

You are here for a purpose;
You are needed in this place.
You are special, you are beautiful.
It doesn't matter what size, gender, or race.

You are perfect just the way you are.
You are priceless, a wonderful new.
You are dearly treasured by many.
There is no one more important than you.

Give of yourself. This is such a caring poem. You are so right; in God's eyes, everyone is special and important. Never should anyone give up on their dreams and goals. Remember, you are here for a reason. You never know what waits for you around the corner. Focus on others and you will see how much you really are needed.

Heartiest congrats for this poem by Ella Philips. The poem should be thought of in schools as young of an age as seven to give students optimism in life. Many young students commit suicide at an early age because of harassment and many other domestic problems. I find poetry is never established early in American schools. Poetry has a soul. Optimistic poetry should be fed early in life.

This really touched my heart. There has been a lot I have been dealing with recently, from suicidal friends to just trying to keep my head above the water. Sometimes it's hard to feel like I am enough for anyone. This poem has given me hope.
