Why? Sharing a poem

Why? (author Katie? last name unknown, I found it on the web)

Why do you laugh at me,
And why do you make fun?
I am an ordinary person,
Just like everyone.

Please tell me today,
I would like to know,
Why you point and stare,
And make me your show?

You laugh at me,
Then call me names.
Hurting me dearly,
When you think it’s a game.

But I can’t help it,
It is who I am,
I can’t ever be cured,
medicine like that isn’t known to man.

Stop for a minute,
And recall what you said.
All those poisonous words,
You programmed into my head.

Words can kill,
More often than thought.
And from those words,
Grave actions are sought.

When someone is different,
Please let them be.
For your unfortunate wish,
Could cause their destiny.

So I ask you again,
Just one last time;

Why do you laugh at me,
And why do you make fun?
I am an ordinary person,
Just like everyone.

(crying) They say words can never hurt you. But that is so untrue. See, physical wounds heal. Emotional wounds last a lifetime. Hugs to everyone

Katie

So true.

PUNKY, BIG HUGS.

you’re awesome…thank you!

That poem sums it all up. Beautiful truth in these words my Dear friend, love, grandma nubu/gramms

That poem was great big hugs to you.

"It is easier to stay out than get out.”

 Mark Twain quote

PUNKY, I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH. I WISH I KNEW WHAT TO SAY TO MAKE YOU STAY. YOU ARE ONE OF MY BESTEST FRIENDS HERE AND I WILL BE  SO SAD TO SEE YOU GO. IF YOU MUST, I UNDERSTAND. YOU NEED TO FEEL SAFE. JUST REMEBER  US ALL HERE. WE CARE AND LOVE YOU!

beautiful poem, I’m so sorry you’re hurting

Punky....I have messaged you privately and I wish that I had been so much more eloquent (as you would have been:) ) BUT all Im going to say is...Dont even think about leaving us! 

Take a day away or more if you need it (I think I might do that myself) but pls dont consider leaving seriously. We can work something out as a group to ensure this kind of thing does not happen again??  I know that the Careplace team are always open to suggestions :)

Im exhausted...going to bed.

I love you guys....truly, madly, deeply

Lets stick together xx
