What Are Those Marks?
Mommy said sissy went away
On vacation today
To a happy place
Because it was too sad for her to stay here
With all her sadness and tears
Sissy said to me one time
The mean people each put one there
The boy who took her to the dance
But sent her home crying
Into her hands
Put one on her thigh
The girls who called her names
she wouldn’t tell me
When she came home early from school that day
Put one on her thigh again
A boy in her class
Who swore he never even looked at her
When she said he grabbed her
Put a big mark one on her
And the girls in the locker room
Who took her picture
When she wasn’t ready to say cheese
Put lots and lots of these
On her arms
Or the boy who kissed her
But then kissed another girl
When she said he wasn’t supposed to
All put these marks on her
It made me mad
That they’d hurt her like that
So at school I yelled
And I cried
Cause I miss my sissy
And I just want her to come back
From vacation
So I can hug her
And say
I love you
To take all of her bad marks away.
My sissy said mean people hurt you
And it makes you hate you
Until you hurt you too
