Big Ears

I have big ears.
That’s not a bad thing!
But I’ve been bullied a lot.
The kind of bullying that made me hate the fact that I have big ears.
I would imagine sometimes going into the bathroom with a pair of scissors and cutting them off.

When I was a kid,
Other kids would make fun of my ears and that would make me sad.
It scarred me emotionally.
Even in movies,
When people who have big ears are made fun of,
I find it to be annoying and not funny at all.

I still try to hide them by growing out my hair.
My friend was the only who would try to make me feel better.
I don't have ugly-looking ears,
But the way people looked at me, and bullied me, made me hate them.
