They laugh

Tony36

They laugh at my clothes

Tattered and worn

They laugh at my scars

some beat me up

Life has been hard

 

Day after day

They throw their jeers

Hateful words brings me to tears

Yes it hurts what they say and do

The name calling

The beatings

 

They throw hatred and laugh

They dish out pain and torment 

Yes I cry

Yes I shed tears

But

I never fight back

By doing so

I prove I'm better than they

        Very Christian, Hindu, Budist, Taoist, very human. This happens to many I was not strong enough I fought back and the beatings stopped. Great write.
