You put yourself out there
only for them to knock you down,
the very same people who have
never left their hometown.
They laugh and make fun
of you for being different,
feeling safe in a crowd
they revel in their ignorance.
Why do you care so much
about what others may think,
especially the ones only interested
in cigarettes and drink.
The very ones who always
thought they were cool,
when will you realise
that they are the fools.
Ignore their taunts
and go your own way
and then when you are older
you won’t care what they had to say.

Great work.👏👏 It sounds to me like saying to an immigrant or foreigner in a city as they’re being mocked by the natives. I don’t know what you really meant to convey. Just had that impact in my mind.

That’s an interesting perspective, I just meant it about anyone who is different which would include your viewpoint. Thanks for the feedback.
