Power Empathy

How would you feel

If you were the one who you made cry

With your sandpaper heart?

My words are the knife into the truth

I keep your diary pages close

But your hate even closer

Scared to go to school today

The sharp comments cut

A hole in my honesty

Lies erupt

As dawn says

Dear fatty

If you want ugliness

Look in the mirror

I wanted to give you a smile

But your mouth is blackened with vile.

Take out your voice box

And be silent

All these insults

Everything is silly?

Understand?

No, neither do I.

I don't understand why we have to be this way.
