Don't Be A Bully

On the outside I may be different
not your cup of tea,
on the inside I am beautiful
if only you could see.
Think before you throw a stone
or hurtful comment my way,
what if it were you that
someone hurt today.
I cannot change how God made me
I'm not a clown in a circus,
beauty lies within, far beyond
what's on the surface.
My soul is precious my heart
can be broken,
by acts of your ignorance
in words you have spoken.
I hope my message speaks
loud and clear,
and the bullies of this world
may all disappear.
Changing their views from
evil to good,
loving thy neighbor begins in childhood.
Parents teach your children
right,
your voice makes a difference
so try as you might.
My mother taught me never
to judge,
harbor anger or carry a grudge.
Don't be a bully you have
nothing to lose,
there might come a day
you walk in my shoes.
