I wrote this because my beautiful daughter who is nine was getting teased at school from other students. As she told me this one day she showed me how smart she really was and did not allow these ignorant children to affect her at all. She was bright enough to feel sorry for them instead of her self. Thank you Emily my inspiration!

What Makes You Better Than Me?

©  Carolyn Lewis
What makes you better than me


Who are you to think of me the way you do?
who gave you the right to rant about me?
Tell me who deemed you the man or the judge?
Why do you hold in so much jealousy?
Who are you to stare and make fun and make me your next casualty?
You silly little person what makes you think in anyway that you are better than me?
Material things you may have more of
but that is not what makes me.
I am a very beautiful person inside and I am filled with nothing but generosity.
So when and if you ever wizen up
and begin to understand that there is more to life then cruelty.
you will come to this place where I am at.
Filled with love, joy, everlasting happiness and much assurance.
Hopefully you can see past all the hurt that you are spitting out.
Come on it's time to grow up and understand what this life is really about
Because money and things don't make a person only
Your inside makes who you are
Don't continue to be so harsh to others
learn to shine brighter than that shooting star
So again I must ask of you be true to who you really are
In everyway I think of you as a beautiful person
so what makes you so much better than me?
