(Emma's point of view.)
My headphones were placed in my ears so I wouldn't have to hear the outside world anymore. Today was an off day already. Only seven and I wanted to rip my head off. Spinning through my list on my iPod I came across Don't Laugh At Me by Mark Wills, the song made me cry every time but I wanted to listen to it. Slowly is began it hurt to hear the song now. Really actually hurt. The words fell from my mouth as the song played.
I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I've got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep
'Don't we all feel like that these days?' I began to question myself. 'Greenpeace, sprout, and all that was so annoying I hated listening to that.'
I'm that kid on every playground
who's always chosen last
I'm a single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
'I hope I'm never a teenage mother, I couldn't handle it. I don't think I'd keep the baby really.' The thought rushed through my mind, really I hated myself for that but it's the truth.
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
'That does seem too much to ask now. People don't know how to control themselves anymore. Everything is a joke. Rape and suicide are the biggest these days, and I used to make jokes about them. Now though I can hardly think of the subject now.'
I'm the cripple on the corner
You've passed me on the street
And I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice
That our eyes never meet
I lost my wife and little boy when
Someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
And right now I'm down to holdin'
This little cardboard sign...so
'Hell, it's so hard to lose someone you love. Losing everything you love and care about. Going insane couldn't help much either and some days that's just how I feel.'
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
'Maybe God isn't real. But still we have no right to pick on people. In truth it's wrong and disgusting even though I still do it. I can't help it anymore I've become different now.'
I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all
'We are all deaf to the truth, all blind to the world. Why can't we just hear and see things for what they are. I don't understand why we have to control things and fix them so much. That's what I do though, I fix people's problems because I need to help people and get them to understand just how much pain we all feel.'
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me.
'Please don't laugh at me anymore. I'm not perfect, please though the ridicule hurts.' I sang the last words of the song when I heard the booming of extremely loud music about two blocks from the school. Knowing now who it was I didn't want to turn around, but then I do only to be positive of who it is. I also knew I didn't want to turn around because I was crying. That wouldn't be smart, but still I turned around slowly.
