Poems from Jodee Lin

I know how it feels to be bullied. I've felt the pain of cutting. I know that I am stronger than the bully themselves. I love to write and draw. I know how it feels to have a best friend wanting to go into the Marines.
The scars on your arms
do not mean you gave up
they mean you were strong
enough to stop the pain
to stop the hurt.
They mean that you...
USMC fighting to save, support
you earn respect and give it
then proudly wear it
the respect becomes yours
they fight till the end...
