Speechless 

Sad little nobody sitting in the corner of a vibrant party.

Speechless.

Sad little nobody silently sitting in a plain chair in a classroom full of joy.

Speechless.

Sad little nobody teased in the tortuous playground but did not say a word.

Speechless.

If you only looked into his eyes and saw…

He is not happy.

His world is full of sadness, heartbreak and devastation.

Though words aren’t strong enough to describe the horrors of his life.

But it always is for a boy like him:

A weakling

A cast off

But most of all a boy who is speechless.

Poem by Lizzy aged 10
