To the Elementary School Kids

She was only 11,
a girl about your age.
She had bouncing red curls,
a girl about your energy.
Imagine if the worst that
happened to her
was losing a cookie...
Ha! I wish!
That bouncing little girl
was made fun of for her accent,
pushed to the ground for her running.

She never knew how to fight back,
never knew how to say no.
So her parents told her they
were moving one day.
She didn't know how to say no.
So she lost all her friends.
Thanks to those bullies of hers,
she was alone once again.

Kids are rough, they'll make fun of you for anything. And adults can be the same, which is even more messed up. The way I see it, accents are beautiful, and languages are. Someone's put effort into learning a language that isn't their own; unless the people bullying you know how hard that is, they can shut up. Ah, sad writing, for sure, lots of emotion put into this, nicely done.

Thank you so much! Yes, it's true, accents are beautiful. I'm actually quite fond of certain accents myself. :)
