Mark Willis song “Don’t Laugh at Me”
I’m a little boy with glasses
The one they call the 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 that kid on every playground
Who’s always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin’ to overcome my past
You don’t have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask
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
Someday we’ll all have perfect wings
Don’t laugh at me
I’m the cripple on the corner
You’ve passed me on the street
And I wouldn’t be out here beggin’
If I had enough to eat
And don’t think I don’t notice
That our eyes never meet
I lost my wife and little boy when
Someone cross that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
And right now I’m down to holdin’
This little cardboard sign…so
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
Someday 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
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
Someday we’ll all have perfect wings
Don’t laugh at me
A song that I can identify with as I grew up and even now. What are your thoughts, as this is not
suppose to be depressing but help us release our Feel-ings.

YorRyeter: I love this song because when I was younger, kids would make fun of my buck teeth: “don’t take pleasure in my pain.” Those lyrics are inside the song and that is how I felt.
Never heard the song but I like the lyrics!
The words of this song will touch many people hearts ,
Take care

Great song, words so many can relate to.

Thanks Eliz and SoapBird for the comments, the background is my own bookcase of all the 1000 books I had to rid of in 2010 when I was forced to move.
What a beautiful song and so true… OH so touching.
Yes not a song of sadness but a song of recognition to humanity around us and our compassion. So nicely done!
