U don't know me

by Erin O'Leary, age 15, from USA

You're calling me a slut
but u don't know me
u look at the way i dress and the way i act
and u judge me
WHY?
U don't know me
who the are u to judge me?
My personality?
My thoughts?
My dreams?
My LIFE!?
U can't!
u don't know me
u don't understand me
u haven't been in my shoes ever
not even for a day
u don't know what it's like to have to walk down those long halls
everyday
and be judged by other peoples reactions about u
when in reality
they don't even know me

So what gives u the right to call me a slut?
A whore?
TRASH?
A loser...
u call me a loser becuz i'm not popular...
u say u can't be my friend anymore becuz i'm brigin u down
well the only loser i see is the one standin be4 me
becuz if u think being popular is everything
ur a loser
and thats just bout the only thing i can say
cuz i don't know u and i don't judge sumone be4 i know them
UNLIKE U
u with ur judgmental eyes
and ur judgmental stares
looking and pointing at me
saying negative things about my appearance,
my personality,
my friends
my life...
but u don't even know me..
u don't know me.
