BULLIED, Teased, Ignored

Mark Wills - Dont Laugh at Me lyrics

Im a little boy with glasses
The one they call the geek
A little girl who never smiles
Cause Ive got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep

Im that kid on every playground
Whos always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin to overcome my past
You dont have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask

Dont laugh at me, Dont call me names
Dont get your pleasure from my pain
In Gods eyes were all the same
Someday well all have perfect wings
Dont laugh at me

Im the cripple on the corner
Youve passed me on the street
And I wouldnt be out here beggin
If I had enough to eat
And dont think I dont notice
That our eyes never meet

I lost my wife and little boy when
Someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
And right now Im down to holdin
This little cardboard sign, so

Dont laugh at me
Dont call me names
Dont get your pleasure from my pain
In Gods eyes were all the same
Someday well all have perfect wings
Dont laugh at me

Im fat, Im thin, Im short, Im tall
Im deaf, Im blind, hey, arent we all

Dont laugh at me
Dont call me names
Dont get your pleasure from my pain
In Gods eyes were all the same
Someday well all have perfect wings
Dont laugh at me

Anyone can get targeted by bullies or by someone stronger. And anyone can post! We didn't choose the song because Mark Wills is (I think) a gospel singer. It puts the themes together and is a good song. People watch it whoever they are or whatever they believe. So if it helps or makes people think, it was worth putting up.

Bullying has always been around but it seems to be worse now and a lot of people suffer. The more people can see how it happens and why, the less people are inclined to feel there is something wrong with them as individuals. It does sap one's energies but they will come back.

@teeeboz Well you are not alone in this! We did the little video and then found this song by Mark Wills which puts it together so well. This one gets watched more than any other so it obviously resonates with people, and we think it is very healing. Thanks for writing.
