Different parts of ourselves

So that girl is an idiot

that girl is a slut

that guy is a jerk to everyone’s eyes for speaking his mind

did you know that we are not made up of one thing

people are going through things

people are struggling

people are having the best time of their life

but yet there is a wall between us all

there is an unsaid list of shames

did you know that girl who parks next to you

actually has a voice

and she just wants to speak

she wants to  yell

she wants to  scream

she has been labeled as the slut of society

but what about the boy whom can not speak without stuttering

shouldn’t we help them speak

help them speak

i want to help

i want to heal myself

i want to forgive

forgive anyone

forgive you for not calling

forgive you for shaming me

forgive you for letting me fall

because that is where we all get mixed up

we forget to forgive

we forget  we all wear the same bones

just walk in different shoes

we need to step out of our shoes every once in awhile

TS.
