You won't stand strong through it all.
It is impossible to think
You will be greater than great.
Everyone knows
You are just big a waste.
No one has thought,
You'll someday stand high.
We constantly tell you
Cruel vile mean words.
So stop listening to
Those words of sweet hope.
Understand
That you are nothing at all.
Never is it true
hard work will help you.
Believe that
It is best to
Give up.
And never
Trust that you will someday push through.
(Now try rereading it backward line-by-line)
