It's not funny anymore

Another tortured day in school

children can be so cruel

- too cruel

No one really knows

(and no one would understand)

yet everyone jokes about it

 

It's not funny anymore

now that it's happened to me

That joke hits too close to home

and I'm crying, crying

Against my will

an invasion of privacy and self

 

HOW COULD IT HAPPEN TO ME???

 

How could it happen to me?

Did I deserve it?

Surely, I did not ask for it

(or did I?)

A violation of privacy and self

strangely more humiliating than painful

But who would understand

- surely not you

 

Children, children...

you are too cruel

Joking about things

you'd wish you never knew

Your ignorant words

- they cut like a knife

and from these wounds

I'll surely die

 

No, it's not funny anymore

now that it's happened to me...

now that it's happened to me...
