In my Writing II class we had to write a free verse poem on a serious subject. I chose to write about the way people tend to respond to other people and how they respond to other people's responses to them. The following is what I came up with:
All around me people judge
They judge the way I look
They judge the way I talk
They judge what I believe
All around me people laugh
They laugh because I fell
They laugh because of my laugh
They laugh because of the way I dress
All around me are jackles
They find joy in other's suffering
But then they get upset,
When people do the same to them
