I hear people talking,

their hatred and all.

As mean as the devil

I wish they wouldn’t call

Me names I don’t like

Ugly, stupid, and dumb

I try to keep them away

As a rule of my thumb

Their words always slap

their victims’ weak feelings

they never use the same words

to keep fresh with their dealings

But what’s worse is the fact

that they strike without caution

they surround you and drown you

giving no other option

But there are some

who are willing to help

They’ll care for your wounds

so you won’t have to whelp.
