Only Human
May 13, 2011
A girl
Sitting there in class
she is thinking about
her fat waist
her scars on her wrist
her dried up tears
her suicide note.
While, her teacher wonders why she's slacking in math.
to him, she is less than human.
A boy
walking with stiff movements
down the hall.
All he wants is to fall
down a hole and stay
forever and ever.
but,
as he goes they make fun of him
all the people who think there better than him
(there not)
but who are we? To say who is less or more?
Fat, thin
Short, tall
pretty, ugly
loser, popular?
were
ALL
only
