They call me nerd
I hear them laugh
But they've never heard
The breaking of my heart
Tears hitting the ground
That's not my name

I live by that quote, thought I'd share it with you. you're amazing, the way you pushed so much emotion and understanding into those few lines. That's something I've never done with my poetry before. Amazing, keep up the good work!

I completely understand. I get called so many things every day. I especially get made fun of because I'm not from Florida and I can have an accent. The poem was good and true. Keep writing

I hear you hun. I do.

You would not believe some of things I get called because of my difference. I've learned to take those experiences and use them to make me stronger.

They make pretty good inspiration for music too. <3

Stay strong sweetheart.
