I’m from a place
where people make fun of you when you’re in a bad situation,
where people gossip about the way you live, eat and wear
I’m from a place where people kick you when you’re down,
instead of lifting you up and showing you support
I’m from a place where friends turn their backs on you
when you need them the most
I’m from a place where people play with you
and spit you out like chewing gum.
