Misfits and Ghosts

to those we look down on,
to the ones who just don't fit in,
to the ones who don't know how to love back,
to the ones who just feel, "not good enough",
to school yard bullies,
to the cold hearted ones,
to the ones seen as too: tall, short, fat, skinny, smart, slow.....
this list could go on and on.
These hurts, are carried all our lives,
some of us keep moving on, others fall behind.
To the ones who love us, with all they can, thank you.
To those who just can't, it's ok.
It's ok to walk away.
The ones who caused the initial hurt are often not around to mend the pain... 

or don't care to, that is where the answer is, in a perfect world, they'd come back,

from the past, even from death; and make it all better.
