... because you are different

all the kids laugh and make fun
of what they cant understand
they make fun of yoiu
because you are different from them.

though try and try
you try to not let it sink in,
but you end up failing
and think about it again

now you wonder if tis true,
are all the things they say
the thruth, or do they just make
fun of someone they dont understand

now you let them get to you
and they can tell
so the name-calling and bullying
never ends.

then one day you stand up
and then everyone around you
is staring at the person they once
had made fun of
all because they didnt understand someone different

now you know
that they were wrong
including all the things they have done
now as you look at them
you can see
all the fear inside of them
all because you are different
and different isnt someone they couldnt understand
