The Same Thing

What's the point

Every day it's the same thing.

She's laughed at

He's pushed in the hallways

And they're the only ones who suffer

Every day it's the same thing.

She's too skinny

He's too tall

She's too heavy

He's not big enough

She doesn't have clear skin or perfect teeth

He doesn't have girls falling over him or is captain of the football team

And they're the only ones who suffer

Every day it's the same thing.

Then that day comes

When she isn't in her usual seat

When he's missing from p.e. class

Whispers float

Rumors spread

Suddenly

They aren't the ones suffering

It's their friends and loved ones 

And now for the harrassers

Every day, is a constant reminder of the same thing.
