Why

Why do we judge so much,

Why do we hurt those who just want the best

Just to be happy

Yet we can tear it down in less than a heartbeat.

Yet we expect others to not do the same

We expect the best

And we tear down their walls and leave them with something they cannot fix

We leave them with the pieces of the window we broke

Telling them that if they’d been more careful

That they,

Wouldn’t have broken it

But the only bit of carefulness they could've done is not meet you.

They cannot fix what you broke.

Because unlike windows,

You can not buy a new soul,

And i know you are only reading but there is so much emphasis on those last words,

What you give to others may not be what they want

They can only truly get what they want from themselves

I only wish for everyone to be happy,

Yet if we were all happy we must all be dead,

Because

Everyone gets what they want,

Then they see someone elses happiness,

And that's what they want.

No one understands,

No one understands.

No one understands how I feel,

They don't get how it comes in waves

And how i can smile after breaking,

And how i can fake a smile,

Oh so well,

They just don't understand

I can be happy

And then it hits

And it's so awkward

To be happy

Truly happy

And then have to switch and not have an attack of panic

You have to fake it

Because they just don't understand.

Why do we believe that we can just,

Judge.

Why

It's not okay.

And why do we expect for everyone to be happy.

Why do we think that people are always happy

Because have you ever seen someone when they are not okay

They are distant

Disconnected

They are not truly there

And you continue to break their walls.

Because you just think they are lazy,

Incoherent.

Yet if you just ask them

You would know

You would understand more clearly.
