This is a poem I wrote about the negative effects on name calling.
What is behind a name
That someone calls you
It's made from a stupid game
That people believe is true
You can't always believe what you hear
Cause there might not be something to back it up on
When you hear the name you might shiver in fear
Or you might take it in wrong
Some people go too far
And that is what they will call you
Even though that's not what you are
But who's to say who
Who's the one to act all ghetto
Who's the one to act all nice
They judge the person they don't get to know
And that's how they get into fights
The words stay in your brain
They contemplate in your head
The pain resides in your veins
Until every word you are fed
Turns to violence
You can hear the screams in the air
There's no longer any silence
All they can do now is stare
What becomes of this
It won't ever be the same
Their grave they give a goodbye kiss
All of this, from a stupid name.
