"Teeny weeny" that's what they call me
they laugh at me and say I'll break
I'm too fragile, I need a cake.
anorexic that's what I am
I can't help it, that's just the way I am........
"Fat!" that's what I'm labeled
I'm not the ideal weight
but I'm not too out of shape
yet "Mr Blobby" they call me
so I run home and starve myself to sleep
starvation diet and plenty of exercise is all I need........
"Migit" thats what I am
they stare at me and think I'm an abnormal man
Dwarf I am, dwarf I'll be
there's nothing I can do
thats just me!.............
"Ugly that's what they say
a few spots I have on my face
and a label is given to my name
"I don't care what they say but deep down im detoritaing away"
before you judge me just remember
"I am what you make me."

"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
mashaaAllah! this is a great poem!
True, we are what people made us. but it really depends how we react to labels. do we go with them? because we don't know better?
or do we go against them? to prove them wrong, to show them the truth!
Bullying...shows how weak Humans are, the bullied AND the bully.
Shows how we need Allah with us always and everywhere.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Totally agree with you there Lilly san.
The buliied need to be able to stand up for themslelves otherwise they will keep getting bullied and the bully will carry on bullying. You just make life easier for the bullies when you let them get away with oppressing people.
It's a far bigger picture then calling someone names, it leads to more people being bullied on a larger scale and more victims doing nothing about it.

and the support the bullied can find to stand up against bullying is in having Faith. And Allah the most exalted.
BELIEEEVVVEEEE
(im sounding more and more like an extremist day by day)
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

some good points guys but im refering to self fulfilling prophecy here...for example if you call someone "dumb" they will become that...hope u understand
I see what you're saying and it's true sometimes.
Never got that from the poem though.

well..i got labelleing, as the first line of the first 4 stances was to do with name calling. but then at the end you wrote teenage bullying so i thought thats what it was. and now you say self-fulfilling prophecy, confuzzled!
the special thing about poetry, is that you leave the reader to interpret in their own ways. (and give the answer at the end if you want to.)
JazakAllah! trying hard!
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
how does bullying show tht the person being bullied is weak???? :s
"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah, do hearts find rest"
I got the 'self-fulfilling prophecy' message
"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
is that what i said? that is not what i meant.
i meant
the bully: no fear of God
the bullied: no hope in God.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
gottcha
"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah, do hearts find rest"
Barakallahufi
