Afraid to Love

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

There was an ugly kid in town
That no one wanted around.
He was not worth anything,
Just one more silly ugly freak.

Sat all alone at a school,
A Self-hating and scarred fool.
Cried suicide down his cheek,
This world devours all the weak.

What were they all afraid of?
Was in need of someone's love.
What were they all afraid of?
Were they all afraid to love?

A huge, fat man slendered down,
Became the talk of the town.
He used to look like a freight,
Until he lost all that weight.

But they never really cared,
But for gossip in the air.
Reckless words tore him apart,
And lacerated his heart.

What were they all afraid of?
Was in need of someone's love.
What were they al afraid of?
Were they all afraid to love?

    love is a scary thing but judging someone because of the way they look is somthing worse

    It's hard being considered ugly physically. I know that all to well. And people can be so cruel sometimes. But one needs to stay strong and push through the sadness even though it may be hard. I hope that this ("ugly kid")beautiful soul finds happiness.
    Good write. Best wishes.
