Target Practice


Am I an easy target?

Why do peolpe feel the need to pick in me

Just because I'm different

Doesn't mean I shouldn't be treated with respect

I never try to be intentionally rude to other people even if it comes across that way

I guess I don't really understand sarcasm

I am an easy target. 

It's not like I am going to stand up for myself

I don't know how

Maybe because what they are saying is true

Maybe it's not

I'm not who they perceive me to be

I just like different things

That doesn't mean I have to be made fun of... 

The occasional slip up doesn't warrant ridicule 

I may be ridiculous and strange 

But I am my own person

A person that seems to be everyones target

Ready, Aim, Fire...
