Bystanders


Did you ever think that you could be the one ?

The one to end the cycle .

Break the chain and relieve the pain.

The suffering from those who can't change.

In our eyes they're different , in their eyes we are admiration. 

 We are idols and role models and beautiful souls they seek to be like  .

They ? As in beautiful people with different abilities .

If you ever could look into ones eyes you would see a story .

A story about glory !

Glorious moments which seem so little to us but magnifying to them .

Respect yourself enough to stop bullying when it happens  . 

Continue to ensure those moments aren't washed away

by some guy who's ego is so low he stops to laugh and point to tell a joke.

About the girl who has  a different ability and all she wanted this morning was for her peers to greet with a goodmorning .

Not the oo poor lil baby goodmorning but the goodmorning you would tell your best friend on her birthday !

Days and days have gone by and you keep thinking about how you should have stopped that guy .

But you watched in disgust but not with courage. 

Courage to yell and point at his flaws.

 To stop him from moving his tired jaws.

To stop the pain he was causing and tears that began to drop.

It's never to late to take the opportunity to Apply yourself to help better our community!
