trying to act so very cool
only to look like a giant fool
wearing clothes others hate
when stepping out on a date
laughter falling on deaf ears
cause I'm battling all my fears
was so hard to say a word
wondering why she's with this nerd
when she won the party's prize
laughter chased me home tears in eyes

It is ingrained in human nature isn't it, to ridicule those different to ourselves. It is a cruel world sometimes. Best to you in the contest

Humans can be so mean. This is the perfect example of that. Well done. Thanks for entering and good luck!
