Unheard

January 16, 2013
By Anonymous

Why do when I roar they Laugh?
When they poke and jab
through the cage
and I cry.
Why most they Laugh?
Do they make me to be something less
than a lion?
Do they make me to be a fool?
Why most I be caged and unheard?

The author's comments:
This poem is about a form of bullying. People like to laugh and make jokes, but they can really hurt people and not ever see it. Someone can be really smart, but they are never able to show it because they are seen as a fool. Their ideas and thoughts and ideas go unheard.
