Please
Do not insult me.
I'm sick of painful words.
I'm sick of stupid smiles
When you don't realize it hurts.
Please
Do not reject me
Because I don't fit in.
Just as I don't like the stupid smile
I don't like the mocking grin.
Please
Just take a minute
And pay attention to
My question why.
Why does it satisfy you
When I begin to cry?
Please
Just try to understand ,
how hard it is to turn the other cheek,
take in your hitting hand,
And restrain myself from hitting back.
Please
Please, I hate it when you criticize
And when you stare at me, through dark, cold, accusing eyes.
I hate it when you push around
And laugh that hard when I hit the ground.
Please
Don't make me smoke that cigarette
Don't hold it to my face
And make me cough until my face is red.
Please,
Leave me alone instead.
Just because I'm different,
I'm not the same as you,
Does not make me a monster
Now tell me, what did I do?
I tried to forgive you,
Time and Time again.
I tried to put my trust in you
Even tried to be your friend.
I tried to practice what I preach
I always turned
The other cheek.
I tried so hard to understand
Even when
You raised that hand.
Maybe I am overweight
Or speak a different language.
Maybe I don't wear brand-named clothes
But I don't deserve this anguish.
Maybe I don't have a lot of money
Can't afford all the things you can.
But you're the reason I hung my head
And from everything I ran.
