I do not understand

Why people think they are better than others

Why they think they can trample all over the rest of us

Why the world accepts this behavior as all right.

But most of all

I do not understand

Why I can’t be part of the “in crowd”

As one of the cool kids

(I’ve had people reject me for who I am,
because of what they think I am, a freak).

What I understand most is hurt and anger.

People who think the world doesn’t care.

People who go shoot up a school.

People who want to commit suicide.
