Be A Friend


Why do you have to hate me? I didn't do anything to you You love my pain my sorrow my sadness You act as though I've hurt you tormented you abused you, when I've never even spoken to you. You like to hurt to ridicule To bleed others. Is it just me? Am I the only one? No. There are others who have hurt Worse than I ever have Who have brought pain to themselves Not emotionally but physically The scars they bare On both their hearts and skin Are proof that life Is wrong that living is wrong That they must stop living so they aren't wrong anymore but to stop living isn't right it's worse than wrong. Does it feel good To bring death to people To teenagers To children Does it feel good To know That because of your torment because of your abuse your classmate is no longer there i bet it doesn't I bet it hurts To be a killer even indirectly even incidentally To hurt the family The friends of the lost You must be heartless. But you can change this you can stop the struggling The pain The sadness You can love others or just stop the harrassment make them see you care enough That you don't want them gone Be loving Be careful Be a friend Not a tormenter Not an abuser Not a bully Love Stop the hate.
