They laugh
They laugh at my clothes
They laugh at my hair
They laugh at my height
They are the hyena.
Giggling uncontrollably as I pass
They think i’m short, plain, and boring.
How would they know, they have never taken the time
to talk, to get to know me.
Hyenas are loud and mean
there is no difference that I see
between the two.
They are the hyena.
Laughing on the hill they created
Out of fear and sadness,
They cut us all down
To build themselves up.
The nasty looks they shoot me as I pass
They try to get in my head
they try to make me feel bad
when I look at myself in the mirror
They make me feel worthless
whenever they pounce
smirking behind my back
they are the hyena
Do they know?
how far the laughing goes
If laughter is the best medicine
then they must be cured of every disease
They are the ones
who makes girls puke
they don’t do it on purpose
They only do it to make them look good
So they laugh
uncontrollably
whenever you are in earshot
but.......
They secretly want to be you
to have real friends
to be really liked for who they are
not who they wish they were
So they laugh
