When I was hurt

When I was hurt Is an old poem Written by Aldo Kraas

When I was hurt by people

It  felt  horrible to me

Because they didn't seem to love me

At all

And I was hopping that the ones that

Knew me for the longest times had not

Called me a retarded men

I didn't like that at all

So I tried to  let them know how it felt to me

I t sounded very bad

First I told them that I was not retarded

And that they need  to stop calling me a retarded

Because that hurts me very much

I told them that I need also their respect

I am also telling that I have respect for them

I also told them that I need respect from them

I hope that they understood that
