The Perfect Book by Steve Seskin & Allen Shamblin

Don't Laugh at Me

I'm a little boy with glasses,
the one they call a geek.

A little girl who never smiles
'cause I've got braces on my teeth.
And *I* know how it feels to cry myself to sleep.

I'm the kid on every playground
who's always chosen last.

I'm the one who's slower
than the other's in my class.
You don't hae to be my friend,
but is it too much to ask?

Don't Laugh At Me

I'm the beggar on the corner.
You've passed me on the street.
I wouldn't be out here beggin'
if I had enough to eat.
Don't think I don't notice
that our eyes never meet.

I was born a little different.
I do my dreaming from a chair.
I pretend it doesn't hurt me
when people point and stare.
There's a simple way to show me
just how much you care.

Don't laugh at me.
Don't call me names.
Don't get your pleasure from my pain.
In God's eyes we're all the same.

Some day we'll ALL
have perfect wings.

Don't Laugh At Me!

I'm fat
I'm thin,
I'm short
I'm tall
I'm deaf
I'm blind.

Hey, aren't we all???
