Judgmental Remarks

Stereotypes are wrong. Plain and simple. Everybody is different, and nothing is perfection. Stop judging people based on looks, or even actions. Judge a person by the goodness inside of their heart.

They giggle and they laugh. They frown when they walk past. I don't know how I get through it. My life... I want to quit it.~Abbie, a good friend

You all need to open your eyes, and realize that there's a whole world outside of your little personal bubble. You're not the only person in the world.~Band teacher, a very wise man.

Pretty girl, pretty girl.

What is my crime?

What have I done wrong?

Why don't I belong?

~*~

Cutter, cutter.

Go and cry.

Slit your wrists,

so you can die.

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl.

That is my crime?

Yes, I've kissed the blade,

more than one time.

~*~

Skinny, skinny.

Don't dare eat.

Seek attention,

from all you meet.

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl.

That is my crime?

These insecurties,

which eat me alive

So I long to become,

less than a size five

~*~

Writer, writer.

With words you hide

"Saving" yourself

from slow suicide

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl

That is my crime?

Ink dotting paper,

I'm a hope maker

~*~

Goth girl, goth girl

In black, head to toe

Do you not realize,

your looks scare us so?

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl

That is my crime?

To me, black is beauty

Does that make me creepy?

~*~

Smart kid, smart kid

What's with your books?

And do you even care,

about your looks?

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl

That is my crime?

Books are my journey

They make me happy

~*~

Dumb boy, dumb boy

What's in your head?

It seems to me,

that your brain is dead

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl

That is my crime?

Words, they confuse me

Can no one else see?

~*~

Gay guy, gay guy

You bring me disgust

To me and the world,

you are the weirdest

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl

That is my crime?

Girls are not for me

Please here my voice,

when I say it's not my choice

~*~

Weird kids, weird kids

You're different than me

I am perfection

Can you not see?

~*~

Pretty girl, pretty girl

You look so sweet

But we all can see

that you too, do weep

~*~

Reviews

[Elizabeth Fiske]

I love the honesty in this poem. I love how you used several stereotypes to illuminate the truth that we all suffer, and that no one is weird for being themselves. It's really beautiful.

[Fabric Pulse]

Beautifully said.

[Letemdangle]

This was fun. Keep in mind most people grow out of this pettiness. A few retain it, but they are easily ignored. But you know that.

[WynterPhoenix]

I love this poem =] Everything about it is honest, and I wish everyone would see it. The world would be a far better place.
