Mean - But True - Poem

Don't Show Them

Mean looks
Narrow eyes
Laughter behind a hand
A slight shake of the head
With a God awful grin
Why do the look that way?

Walking by
I see them
They treat me like I'm invisible
And I don't want to be
Until they talk
"Lose some weight" they say to each other

"God, she's so weird"
I look down
No eye contact
No acknowledgement of any kind
Keep walking
Don't look back
Don't show them they are stronger
Don't show them that they have won

Don't show them that they got to you
Don't show them that you want to cry
Don't show them that they are wicked
In every single way
Don't show them that they know
Your weakness

Just don't show them anything.

I think that this has the potential to be a really interesting poem. Let's tlak about tightening it up just a bit and I think it will be great. I like the concept a lot.
