What It Does

You call her fat and don't even care

up in her room, she doesn't share

she takes a blade and finds a place

to cut away the pain from her "ugly face"

 

He likes odd things and has an imagination

and for you there was no hesitation

to call him a freak

makes him think his future is bleak

 

alone

no security at home

 

some can't deal with the shame

and they erase their name

 

one word

 

one push

 

just thinking it is not enough

 

they're not you

 

so does that make them unworthy?

 

never.
