Don’t you know you hurt me
When you call me names?
To you it may be funny, 
But to me it’s not the same.
I’m hurt, I’m angry, 
And I’m so confused.
Why do you laugh at me?
What’d I ever do to you?
What’d I do to make you feel
You should make fun of me?
I’ve tried so hard to figure it out
But I just can’t see.
I want so bad to fit in
But I think, “Why bother try?”
They’ll never learn to accept me.
All I can do is cry.
I know I can’t deny it
I was so hurt by what you said
And now because of you
On the inside I feel so dead.
