Closed Eyes

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

This guy is a geek
Made fun of for studying what he is taught
He is tripped because he's smarter than all the rest
And he cries himself to sleep.

This girl is shy
Made fun of for being quiet
She is rejected because she doesn't know the right things to say
And she tries her best to get through the day.

This guy is a freak
Made fun of for being different than all the rest
He is outcasted because he doesn't fit in
And he takes out all his anger on the ones who mock him.

This girl is a retard
Made fun of for not being able to learn the way that others do
She is teased because she was born differently
And she tries to fight back.

This guy is gay
Made fun of for being who he is
He is beaten for liking who he likes
And he is murdered for what he believes in.

This girl is popular
Praised for being perfect 
She is hiding her cheating heart, her snobby ways
And she is lying to get her way.

This guy is a jock
Praised for scoring the winning points of the last football game
He sleeps around with cheerleaders, gets drunk on beer at parties
And he is destroying himself without knowing. 

This girl is a preppy
Praised for knowing every "cool" guy there is
She is there to laugh when they tease the geeks
And she teases others just to fit in with the crowd.

This guy is the class clown
Praised for making Mrs Smith's class fun
He makes them laugh to hide his insecurities
And he struggles to graduate and pass all of his classes.

This guy and girl are different
Made fun of for doing the right thing
They are teased because they can't help the way that they are
She commits suicide because she doesn't fit in, he overdoses by the age of 20.

This guy and girl lie to themselves and everyone else in order to conform
Praised for sleeping with everyone, and hiding who they are
They make people laugh by mocking those who can't fight back
She is pregnant by the age of 16 and is left to live on welfare, he kills 5 people in a drunk driving accident and is left to live with his guilt.

What are we doing?
