Poetry: Mistaken identity

by Ebony Hunter

Created on: April 15, 2008

They looked down on me
and judged me with no care
I am mistaken
Life is unfair

They laughed with their friends
and left me alone
I thought I was beautiful
but I guess I was wrong

They encourage newcomers
not to talk to me
Even the kindest person
chooses to hurt me

They kick me while i'm down
and I can't get up
The pressure is building
and I fear i'll erupt

They think I am ugly
and that i'm without worth
No matter how hard I try
things only get worse

They have mistaken me
for something unreal
Maybe they don't know
That even I can feel
