Laughter Poem by Echo Moon

They laugh at me and I die inside

Every chuckle
Every giggle
Every snicker
Every cackle
Every grin

Each cut deeper into my skin

They laugh cause they think I'm strange
They laugh cause I'm not like them
It makes me feel like a Sparrow trapped in a cage.
They whisper behind my back

They don't like me the way I am.
They hate me the way I am
They can't accept me
So I won't accept them.

They don't like me because I like who I am
They aren't comfortable in their own skin.
