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。
