Why?
Did you notice that girl in math class, who sits behind you, the girl who is a math wizard?
The girl you called:
“Ugly”
“Fat”
“Rude”
“Social outcast”
Did you ever take the time to get to know her
Understand why she walks to class alone
Why she is so self-conscious
Why she rarely posts a picture of herself on Instagram
Did you know why she did it?
Why she lied away in the corner
Watched girls starve themselves
Do you understand why she didn’t tell sousie?
Tell Susie her boyfriend and best friend were dating.
Do you understand why she never told anyone her secrets
She has no one
She walks to class alone because no one is there
She lies awake at night crying herself to sleep
Wondering why no one likes her
Why?
Why did you say those hurtful things to her
Why did you call her a slut
and label her skanky
When all she does is get good grades
tries her best not to let other
Get to her
Why say those rude, hurtful, and disgusting things about her
She has done nothing
But sit in the corner and watch as her class dies out in society
Lately it's all about skinny waist
Fat thighs
Have a big butt that bounces
Long natural hair
Having your eyebrows on fleek
Wearing the right colors and clothes together
Why?
Did you know that saying all those things about her…
Hurt her
Telling her she didn’t look like the model in the magazine
Did you ever wonder why she didn’t
She understood that society is not like it was back then
She knows that those girls wearing yoga pants and bralettes is not who she is
She stays true to herself
Do you know why she started to care
Why she started to drown in society
Why she started to starve herself
Was it you?
The person who told her she wasn’t good enough
The person who told her that she was too fat
That she would always be alone
That she would have no friends
Was it you who told her to never show her face
To get the plastic surgery
Who told her to just disappear
She still lies awake at night wondering why?
Why she isn’t good enough
Am I too fat
Do these make my butt look good
Is he cheating on me
Why is society making us like this?
