Kenny
It was seventh grade, and even now the memories haven't fade
But now it is a world ago
“Hey, you look like Kenny”. Someone I didn't even know
I felt my face was weird
As if in that sentence it morphed
From something I didn't notice
To something I see in the mirror every day
All the comments came at me I was sad but stayed
On that day I wanted to move away or stay far away, perhaps Chicago
That day one kid, I think his name was Sid turned into a foe
Whenever I was at school I wish Kenny had disappeared
The kid's ego was the height of the moon but realistically he was a dwarf
I felt so weird, a nickname was seared and I wanted to call POTUS
After one none of the comments were kept at bay
I searched for Kenny
A Down syndrome tiger held in captivity appeared on my screen
I stared and saw the realization, I wanted to take a shot of Henny
The distance between my eyes was like a misshapen bean, It took everything for me not to scream
For I realized they were right, even though it was quite the fright
And then I stayed up for the rest of the night
