All They Laugh At
They laugh at my hands
 Covered in ink eternal
 From gripping my pen
 While writing in my journal
 
 They laugh at my pencil
 Short and stubby to boot
 From writing in my journal
 My only venting route
 
 They laugh at my pen
 My pencil replaced
 Running low on ink
 With unsurpassed haste
 
 They laugh at my marker
 My pen no more
 They call me mean names
 As I try to ignore
 
 They laugh at my crayon
 My marker has died
 My writing is blurry
 But still full of my pride
 
 They laugh at my paintbrush
 My crayon has broken
 I'm trying to forget them
 But they've still spoken
 
 They laugh at my journal
 My only output
 Then grab it away
 They might as well cut off my foot
 
 They laugh at my tears
 As my journal is shredded
 Their faces crease into laughter
 I'm becoming lightheaded
 
 They laugh at my feelings
 Bottled up inside
 I no longer can vent
 They've intensified
 
 They laugh at the hurt
 I experience now
 From trapping feelings in
 And never letting them out
