INSULTED——一首英國被欺凌小孩寫的詩,一首暖暖的可能改變你想法的詩

一個叫Gareth的英國小孩在小學時被嚴重欺凌過,後來他來到了一個非常不同的中學。在這裡的情商學習課程里,他寫了一首詩講述他被欺凌的經歷以及他現在的與之前截然不同思考方式。

這首詩我讀後很有感觸,一個看待事物的角度的小小改變可以帶來一個大大的人生轉變,所以分享給大家品味。

INSULTED

By Gareth

「You』re ugly」

I know,

I have been told this.

「You』re silly」

I know,

I have realized this.

「You look like an

alien」

I know,

this has been pointed

out to me.

「You have big eyes」

I know,

I have looked in the

mirror.

「You can』t be a pilot,

you are not smart

enough」

It is possible,

I have considered

this.

With every insult

you invent,

it is strange,

but it』s true.

You point out

my many failings

and help me

to improve.

As you highlight

my many

weaknesses,

you also highlight

my strengths.

My ugliness

leads to my kind

personality.

My silliness

brings laughter

to the world.

My resemblance to

movie aliens

only highlights

my intelligence.

My big eyes

portray my feelings

and widen my view.

I may not

make it as a pilot,

but I could be.

You see

every insult

you invent

gives me a view

into your mind.

Although I have

many problems,

I feel sorry for you.

Why, oh why

do I feel sorry for

you?

Because your mind

cannot break free.

The wall of insults

you build

limits your mind

of feelings.

So soon,

If you don』t stop,

you』ll turn inhuman,

and have the biggest

problem of all:

Loneliness.

Think about it!

據說這個小孩現在有了女朋友,比較成功,而且準備出版詩歌集了。
