She doesn't look good
He's a dork
She doesn't dress the way she should

So we tease and mock
We do it non-stop
We push them around
Till to the ground they drop

They hide in the corner
And silently weep
Every night
They cry themselves to sleep

They have no friends
They didnt stay
They thought they were dorks
So they went away

They've been shoved in lockers
All their life
So they go home
And slit their throat with a knife

A simple act of kindness
Could have helped them through their strife
A simple act of kindness
Could have saved a life [comments] => 8 [counter] => 331 [topic] => 36 [informant] => brookiecookie02 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 18 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Dark yet in a way hopeful. I liked it. I like the aspect of writing style. Very well done. I think things like this, the act of kindness, should happen more often.
