Not Fair

• Artist: Tails_155
• Description: I wrote this poem in my Creative Writing class last year, I wrote it for my sister, who was adopted by my family after being removed from an abusive family.
  
  I can't do anything for a grade anymore, but I think it would be great to make this poem as powerful as possible, this is something that really happens, and it's atrocious and needs to be stopped.
  
  Some of the line breaks come from the original format having a picture above the poem, and three columns... but I can't really do that here...

It’s not fair, not fair
Not at all;
You’ve done nothing
wrong
The only thing you did
Was live.

It’s not fair, not fair
Not at all;
I wish for the same
Every time I see it
I wish to be there, to
defend
To defend you from
them
Who don’t want you
To Live




I wish for the same
Every time I see it
I see it the same
Every time I see it
That terror and pain
So clear in your eyes
Screaming.

Screaming, loud,
So loud
The screaming in your eyes
Deafens to the point
The screams from your mouth
Are lost, unheard

Just as unheard as they were,
By the ears of the one who
Left you like this
Left you like this.


For you it was not too late
But for some… for some
Help never comes…
Never comes…
They lie all alone, asking
What did I do?
But they did nothing wrong
All they did
Was live.

It’s not fair, not fair
Not at all;
I wish for the same
Every time I see it
I wish to be there, to
defend
To defend you from
them
Who don’t want you
To Live
