People whine,
here and there,
but I hear it
everywhere!

"He picked on me at lunch."
Aww poor baby.
"She called me fat."
Get over it!
"So-and-so said my clothes were for the poor."
Cry me a river.
"My day was so hard."
Who really cares?
"I'm so tired."
Boo freakin' hoo!

Aww boo hoo to all of it.

I'm not perfect either,
but i try not to complain.
I was also a "victim"
when people made fun of my unibrow.
And I thank God
they did.
Cause deep down
the ridicule we take
makes us
who we truly are.

The author's comments:
I was inspired by all the constant comlaining at the high school level and how people in America especially don't see how bad it really could be. I hope people realize that they have it great even though it's not exactly what they dreamed.
