Would you look at that?
That girl you just called fat,
She thinks of committing suicide.
To be the cause of it? You decide.

You just called him gay?
All he can do is pray
That the harassment will die down
So don’t even joke around.

Does she look too thin?
That girl can never win
She starves herself to look good enough
And you just stand there to snuff.

Is she “emo” because she has scars?
That girl’s father is behind bars
Because he abused her
But judge, whatever you prefer.

Be careful what you say,
Because words are never taken away.
You never know who gets hurt
By the words that you always exert.

This poem is true for everyone. Everybody has a story behind what they pretend to be. This piece of writing is deep and something that everyone should take into consideration. Great work.
