Words Cut Deep

WORDS CUT DEEP.

Don’t laugh at me

you’re nothing but a bully.

I know I don’t have fancy clothes

or a new car

Where I come from

just to find food

you have to search near and far.

I may be different than you

I might not have money

or lots of fancy things

your cruel jokes are not very funny.

You may not know it

or for that matter even care

but behind my back

I hear the whispers and snickers about the clothes I wear.

So please don’t be mean

your words cut quite deep

You can’t face the mirror

and I have no problem getting to sleep.

I’m the little kid whose always chosen last

standing on the sidelines

just because I’m not big and fast

no football player am I

nor track star too

you are so hateful

it oozes out of you.

I can’t run a mile

or lift a hundred pounds

if you would give me a chance

Love I have to give without any bounds.

I’m the girl whose not the popular, skinny one

the one you make fun of

and pick on all the time

one day I’ll be pretty

and you will lose your mind.

When will come the day

we all can get along and care for others

peace will be here to stay

and stop getting your joy from the pain of another.

So before you laugh and stare at me

just remember one last saying

you’re so full of hate that true beauty you can’t see

I’m so much better than you

and you’ll never know true love

from a caring friend like me!
