Words

Words spoken without thought,

Words of hate,

When kindness could have healed,

But now it's too late.

You can't take it back,

There is no extra lives,

No way to say, "Sorry."

Not everyone survives.

It tears you up inside

And keeps you up at night.

If only you had tried a little harder,

If you only you had been a light.

You see another,

Eating all alone.

It won't happen this time,

This time you set the tone;

A tone of love and understanding,

A tone of friendship and community,

This time everyone will live,

You and me.
