Laughter and degradation

Put-downs and humiliation

So you don't like me

Why must you hurt me?

You see the way I dress

You think I'm such a mess

You fear me so much

That you keep me out of touch

And you put me in my place

And you sit back and laugh in my face

You go through such tribulation

To protect your stupid reputation

Refusing to accept the unaccepted

Refusing to acknowledge the dejected

Such a slave to conformity

Such a slave to uniformity

Follow a few; step on many

Go out with the crowd in hopes that any

Weirdos who show up happen to be weak

So you can pound and beat that freak

You might not even hurt him much

But you will still tell such

Unbelievable lies; such incredible myths

So that you and your clique can resound with

Laughter and degradation

Put-downs and humiliation

You have them all fooled, don't you?
They all trust you - don't they?
A frightened, innocent child
And I pray that you will go
You will taint my young life
In ways you will never know
Your grip is so hard
You are so much bigger
Your reach is so long
You are so much stronger
A deeply scared heart
Will be your gift to me
The danger that you are
I wish that all could see
If they did, you would not ever
Ever be allowed to be alone with me

You did it again Though you said you wouldn't Passed out the pain
Though you know you shouldn't
Through the haze of tears I can see her on the floor
Her sobs are tearing at my ears Yet you beat us all the more
You pause, but it's not over yet There's a lot more to come
You've just gotten your feet wet There's much more where that came from
After a while, your rage runs its course You've beaten us into silence
Subdued us into fearful quiet by force We dare not move for fear of more violence
In the morning, you'll show remorse and apologize Even though we all know it won't make up for the pain The horror, my humiliation..
Your pretty lies Can never erase the tears that fall like rain
Sometime soon the pain will knock And you'll open wide the door
Through the halls that familiar pain will stalk Until it ends, when I can't take it anymore

Sometimes we have to fight.
fight for what we believe in
fight for what we deserve
fight for what's right
for what's fair
for what's honest
what's true
Nothing is just handed to you
you have to work for what's right
it may mean pain
it may mean suffering
but in the end it's so worth it
you can't give up
if you do you'll have a lost cause
and giving up means
you didn't really care
everything you truly believe in is worth fighting for
you don't say you believe it
if you wouldn't speak out for it
hold up a hand for
what's right
what's fair
what's honest
what's true
don't run from and obstacle
run towards it
head first
don't stand down
keep pushing
keep working
keep fighting
and it will pay off

Jazmin
by definition is a light to moderate yellow color or a flower.
Yellow a generally happy color.
it makes sense i mean i am a generally happy person,
or at least that's how it seems.
If you really listened to what i have to say
you would see the gloomy, dejected, hopeless world i see.

when you help some one you may see a life you’ve made a difference in
when  i help some one i see millions like them in the same position
who's to help them?
who's is to lend out a hand?
who is to help that child in the corner who's starving to death?
i want it to be me, but what can i do
I'm just a kid

yet at times being a child is  a good thing
i smile. i run. i play.
i have friends, i have people who care for me
i have people who make me smile
i work hard and get good grades.
i try hard to be the best at everything

still I'm not happy, but you would never know that
i wear this fake smile
i wear it because i know one smile can change someones entire day
one smile can give someone hope
one simple smile may mean nothing to you
but it can mean the world to someone like me

id be happy if only
I Jazmin Huey can change millions of lives
id love to leave my mark on the world
to have someone look up to me and actually say
i want to be just like you
that would make me happy
