Words

Why are you not married?

People will say.

Why are you still childless?

Why are you Gay?

Why are you religious?

Why are you a Jew?

All Muslims are evil.

What’s with the tattoos?

Let’s beat up the E-Mos,

and torture all Goths,

and people with piercings.

and dumb welfare sloths.

Your hair is too long.

That bald guy's a freak.

You dance nude for money?

You’re too bold. Your too meek.

Your skin colors too dark.

Your skin is too light.

Your eyes are too slanted.

You’re no man, you cant fight.

You’re too rich to be honest.

You're too poor to be trusted.

You are fat and you're ugly.

Your disabled, I'm disgusted.

If only we realized

how much pain we’ve inflicted,

when your words are so thoughtless,

It’s you who are wicked.

having a friend kill himsel because he couldnt stand the judjments from others.  watching young people suffer at the hands of bullies because they choose to be themselves.

This is a great poem. As I was reading this, it made me want to cry because of how true this is. I wish we didn't live in a world where we didn't judge people's sex, religion, culture, how we dress, etc. You wrote this beautifully :)

This poem is real life..everyones quicker judge others than looking at themselves to figure out why they are so insecure with themselves..self love and peace helps you to look past ppls imperfections

 I like your poem called"Words".

It touch my heart. I once in high school

got called all sort of name, ugly,attractive, stupid, not smart.

While reading your poem  it is letting people

know that name calling hurts feelings to.
