Don't Laugh At Me (Allen Shamblin/Steve Seskin)
My name is Ikhny Allecto. I suppose I'm just your average kid, except I'm not. I can't ever get anything right. Just ask my pilot. He'll tell you how horrid I really am. I'm a disgrace.
I'm a little boy with glasses The one they call the 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
That's how everyone sees me. They all laughed at me when I was little. They would point and insult me. All because I'm not as good at some things as they are. I'm good at something; I know I am.
I'm that kid on every playground Who's always chosen last A single teenage mother Tryin' to overcome my past You don't have to be my friend But is it too much to ask
I just wish they'd stop. It hurts so much. I hate being made fun of. They don't like being made fun of, so why do they do it to me? 'Because they're insecure' part of me says. Is that why Hiead is so cruel?
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
I was quite surprised at what I found when I went into the observatory today. Hiead was there. He apologized. I wonder what changed his mind. He said it wasn't my fault.
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
He tells me that the reason he was yelling at me was because he didn't want me to get hurt. He was hoping that I would grow strong and take it without crying. He finally realized that I was strong, in my own way.
I lost my wife and little boy when Someone cross 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
"Just ignore them. If you're happy with yourself, I'm happy with you. It's just that I didn't want you not putting in your full effort. You're good enough for me. I'm so sorry." He said to me earlier. Then he kissed me. I don't quite know why. Maybe he remembered something from his past.
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
"I used to be just like you. They always made fun of me for my eyes. I just didn't want you to go through the same thing. I didn't realize that I was doing to ou the very thing I tried to save you from."
I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all
Now I understand. He was trying to protect me. Maybe he doesn't hate me after all.
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
I smile up at him, happy that he has finally given in to his feelings. He doesn't hate me. In honesty, it is just the opposite. He is a rather sensitive person. He was just trying to protect those that he loves.
