Tick Tick Tock

You know what really makes me tick…

When I just overheard someone in the library making fun of someone to their friend

Someone getting talked about because of their race, sex, or even choice of clothes

You know what really makes me tick…

When that person getting made fun of or bullied is the nicest person you will ever meet

When they have done nothing wrong but chose to stand out and be unique

You know what makes me tick…

When someone is judging a teen mom for having a kid

Maybe her birth control failed and she did not have the heart to terminate the pregnancy

Maybe she was raped, and had to have sex unwillingly, you don’t know her story

You know what makes me tick…

When someone is made fun of because of their hygiene and dirty clothes

Maybe just maybe they don’t have a wonderful life like yours

Maybe they are having a hard time at home and mom, and dad can’t afford the bills

So they are doing the best with what they have

You know what makes me tick…

When someone gets picked on and made fun of and NO ONE sticks up for them

Just because your life is miserable and you have nothing better to do doesn’t mean you get to do that

You know what makes me tick…

When I see someone hurt or crying and in need of a friend and no one is there to comfort them

When someone has hit rock bottom and only needs a smile to make their day

You know what makes me tick…

When people look at drug addicts like pieces of shit

They are people who REALLY need some love and attention to help them

Instead people dig them deeper and deeper in by making them feel low

You don’t know what lead to where they are at, you don’t know their story

You know what makes me tick…

When people think they are better than everyone

Newsflash you are probably the most damaged out of everyone out there

No one is better than anyone we are all the same in one way or another

You know what makes me tick…

When I hear about people committing suicide due to bullying

then people FINALLY realizing they could have done something to stop it

but yet they still won’t, for the next victim

You know what REALLY makes me tick…

When I see people judging people, when they don’t even know their story

When I see young kids already becoming these people
