Pennies
You attack my appearance
When after I say nothing about yours
In a silly battle of words
Your mind goes to my face
My hair
How I am presented
My body
When I never said anything of yours
You whisper curses behind my back
Thinking I’ll never hear
But I do
It hurts my feelings knowing you speak ill of me
Knowing someone I liked turned on me
To being out of ideas going for the easy target
How someone looks
Something they can’t change easily is the perfect thing to pick on for you
The words you say to my friends about me
And the words you say to my face are different
Pennies are supposed to be lucky
But you’re just two faced
Asking for an apology means nothing to you
Since you’re not sorry
You’ll say it again
Because I know
What you say about others
Reflect your true self
Something concealer can’t fix
