Truth
I live in a world where there is good and evil
I understand that life isn't made to be easy
I look to others to see their life
I never knew I could see it all.
I want to know what makes a person
Speak words of disrespect
To cut the wounds of someones soul
To expose their flesh.
Give me a reason
For why you pick on those
With weak minds and souls.
Does it make you feel powerful?
With every word you can break a person
Make them feel like they don't matter
I'll never be able to see
Why it gives you pleasure.
In my life I have seen so much pain
My eyes have witnessed things of destruction
My ears have heard cries for help, anger and fear
My heart has felt heavy with sadness for those who are hurt
If I could take away all their pain I would.
Just remember that everyone has pain
It's your choice if you want to speak the words that could ruin a life.
