[hometext] => For all those people that have been picked on or ridiculed for looks, beliefs, interests, etc.
[bodytext] => I know you go behind my back And talk about what I lack Well I‘m not having any more I’m going to settle the score You can no longer dampen these eyes Or make me wish that could say my goodbyes No longer can you make me feel like crap Because my wings I will flap And swoop down on you Like you never knew Then you’ll get the clue That I’m not messing with you No longer will the tears fall The hurtful names you will no longer call Now you realize And see the world through my eyes It’s not pretty When people make you feel itty-bitty Now you know how I feel And wish it were all just a tape reel That you could take it all back Well it’s too late for that I just want to be accepted And no longer rejected I want to believe I can be someone And not have my emotions flung Like they’re some object The mockery and ridicule I’m tired of being subject I try to be nice But instead of taking my hand you take my feelings and you slice Like warm knife through butter And I close my mind and nail the shutter Not allowing anybody in And throw my trust in the trash bin Not allowing myself to open up to people And making me feel feeble I opened up to you and you took what you saw And decided to point out the flaws With no regard to anybody else but yourself You took my book of secrets off the shelf And opened it for the whole world to see And laugh at me Now you feel my pain And nothing you have gained Except a few past laughs at my expense When I could not put my defense [comments] => 2 [counter] => 228 [topic] => 6 [informant] => Wordsmith09 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )
