Well, she was always a weakling
Got sick often, couldn’t keep up with everything you did
Low immunity got her down
So you called her a wuss!
Who gave you the right?
When you tell ghost stories
He shuts his eyes tight and tries to drown out the sound
They echo of memories and dreams that he tried to forget
So you called him a chicken
Who gave you the right?
She’s never liked sports
She is a brainy nerd and she likes it
Just cause she couldn’t run as fast or hold the bat correctly
You called her a loser
Who gave you the right?
You didn’t like that he stood up against you
So you decided to be a bully and call him names
Just cause your ego got a little bruised
Well, he’s scared of having a voice now
Who gave you the right?
She dresses and talks differently than everyone else
And make the queerest of friends
She doesn’t fit into a social box that you created, the one you are so
comfortable in
So you called her a sissy
Who gave you the right?
You live by certain rules, always cool and popular
One day you broke those very rules and did what your heart said
And got called every single one of those names that you used for
others
It pricked and stung and hurt like never before
Well, who gave them the right?
You did.
Very Well Written Renita ! :)
