Looks Poem by Michelle Hanes

Looks



Tall, short, fat, or thin
ugly, pretty, or pretty ugly
All words to describe us
but do they means anything?

Sticks and stones
may break my bones
but words will never
hurt me! '...lies...

Words hurt likes stones,
but on a whole other
level, emotionally, mentally...
They leave scars like stones

They hurt like stones
They can even kill but
not exactly directly
but people will die to escape it

Tall, short, fat, or thin
ugly, pretty, or pretty ugly
All words to describe us
but do they means anything?

Though the words hurt
I can't help but wonder
why are these words
so bad at all?

Were they picked out
of a raffle or hat?
Were they picked by
people to means those things

Did someone wake up one
day and say, 'From now
on, these words will mean
these horrible things! '?

Tall, short, fat, or thin
ugly, pretty, or pretty ugly
All words to describe us
but do they means anything?

I try not to be biased
but to me they're just words
a horrible meaning or not
but to others...

To others they are the worst
they are...well 'down there'
(I'm trying to be appropriate)
but I hope you get what I mean

They are that and they are torturous,
they are what's dreaded the most,
the words that hurt more than the
sticks and stones combined...

Tall, short, fat, or thin
ugly, pretty, or pretty ugly
All words to describe us
but do they means anything?

the funny part is that
whats an insult to one is
something the other could
care less about, like...

If you could a girl 'girly'
they could care less but
If you called a boy 'girly'
it wouldn't be a pretty picture

If you said a girl was pretty
they would take it as a compliment
If you said a boy was pretty
they might take it as a insult

Tall, short, fat, or thin
ugly, pretty, or pretty ugly
All words to describe us
but do they means anything?

They make a big deal about
our looks, and use all these
words but to tell you the truth...
I Don't Care! ! !
