Sterling High School

This town,
this school,
to make fun of others,
people think its cool.

They do it to be funny,
to impress someone else,
but the people they make fun of,
actually know how to be their self.

They don't know how much it hurts,
causes people physical pain,
they think that what people say,
is all that they contain.

The don't pay attention to others,
they just want to be the "best",
they think that it can be easy,
just to be like the rest.

They don't notice what they do,
they just don't understand why,
many people here,
ache and wish to die.

It may not bother some,
but some may cut,
if it's not this way,
they let it bottle up.

Just because she's a tomboy,
you treat her likes she's nothing,
you think there's no reason for her,
but she's here for something.

Just because he doesn't dance,
like you bump and grind,
doesn't mean he's a nothing too,
it's the little boy in him he can find.

I'm one of these people,
I know how it is to be confused,
trying to make it through life,
but always hurt and being used.

The school does nothing about it,
because they can't see it too,
they think this is a perfect school,
but the next victim could be you.

I wish things would change,
people would be treated equal,
no matter who they are,
is what's needed in sterling high school.

This peom is dedicated to my school...which I really hate because people make fun of others just because they are different and that really bugs me....please vote and comment....I'd really appreciate it!!....thanks for reading...
