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
