They Will!

By Ishita Singhal

You know what they say when you can’t spell a word,

they say you’re stupid and dim-witted in their head, in their expression.

You know what they say when you can’t get up and speak,

they’ll judge you for being the shy person on the team.

You know what they say when you sit alone and cry,

they say you’re weak and don’t dare to fight.

You know people talk, endlessly, baselessly about everything every time.

You know you have to understand it’s a part of your life.

You know you have an option to neglect and move forward.

You know you have the caliber of making everything on your own terms.
