My favorite quote is "Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." by Joseph Campbell. I say this a lot to people because they need the inspiration.

Why me?
Is it the way I dress
Is it the way I talk, or
Is it the way my personality is.
What do you think of me?
Do you think I'm ugly
Do you think I'm pretty
Why me?
The one who get's picked on
Why I'm the one left out
The one who is verbally abused
The one who get's bullied
The one who cry to myself every night
Why me?
Can someone tell me why I'm here
What's my value to this world
What's my purpose to this earth
All that I ever ask is
Why me?

The author's comments:
I wrote this because I was inspired by certain people who ask why they are getting bullied, or verbally abused. I hope people would get from this poem is you don't have to change yourself for nobody, and don't let nobody bring you down.
