They Say
she was bright
they say
she was a good person
they say
she was pretty
they say
then tables turn
compliments turn to worse
harsh enough to leave mental burns
she doesn't belong
they say
she's just a freak
they say
everything about her is wrong
they say
her future is bleak
they say
one mistake
was made
it brought her hate
that she could not take
so she escaped
she packed her bags
she moved away
to flee from things
that they say
she was scared
they say
for once
they were right
she was scared
of things they say
of being crushed
she built a better life
or at least she tried
but things followed her
horrible lies that made her cry
words can hurt
watch what you say
you could end up hurting someone
someone like her
