What Is Wrong With Him

She’s not right.
She has something wrong with her.
She has a screw loose.
She’s got problems.

What is wrong with him?
How do we fix that?
I am no doctor but….

Having several issues myself, I am
Hypersensitive to these kinds of 
Statements.

Yet I hear them all the time.
Yesterday a substitute teacher called
Me, and I figured she was saying this
In front of the entire class, “I am calling
About Henrydexter. What is wrong with him?”

I was instantly ready to run down there
With my sword.  When you have been the victim,
You recognize the bullies faster than others.
