That girl
The one we call the B****
She tries and tries
But lies and lies
She’s fake
She’s “dirty”
All she’s trying to do
is fit in

That boy
The one we call gay
He respects
He cares
Yet he is sensitive
He has feelings
He’s unique
But still he cries

That girl
She worries
We worry
She is thin and fragile
Yes she thinks she’s fat
yet she is 90 pounds
She starves
She thins

That boy
He is sad
He doesn’t get it
What does he do
How does he escape
The words hurt
The abuse hurts
He hurts

That girl
She stops eating
Her parents don’t notice
She thins
And thins
and thins
Where is she
Why isn’t she at school

That boy
He cries
cries until he can’t anymore
He searches
For what?
Only he knows
Days pass
Why isn’t he in school?

That girl
She found the answer
She no longer was fat
So thin so fragile
Where did she go?
She sees it
The beautiful light
Her answer

That boy
He too found his answer
He found a rope in the shed
He found a pole that hung
wall to wall
He steps off the chair
He sees a figure
But it is too bright to make out who it is

Why do we judge?
Why do we cause pain?
Why do we want people to end?
We don’t realize
Words do hurt
They cause pain
They abuse
And they are overused

As for the boy and the girl
No longer can they be here
Be apologized to
They moved away
Away from land
Away from home
Away from their families
Away from life
