you.


Look in the mirror: what do you see?

Oh look!!!! its you.

Whoop.dee.doo.

you probably think the world revolves around you-

who are you. Who are you to

think that.

 

What makes you better than the girl sitting in the corner,

ALONE.

Did you know she goes home and cries?

She cuts?

She hates herself?

Do you know her name?

No. Cuz you think the world revolves around

you.

 

What makes you better than the boy with glasses. He is

ALONE.

Did you know he feel alone?

Did you know he is abused at home?

Did you know he wants to DIE.

Of course you didn’t: you don’t know his name.

But it doesn’t matter. Cuz you think the world revolves around

you.

 

What makes you better than anyone?

What gives you the right to walk around being

entitled.

selfish.

rude.

inconsiderate.

you are no better than that girl

than the

“dork”

“loner”

“freak”

 

Think before you act

It could be you

Alone in the corner

wanting to die

 

Think before you speak

Act with kindness

And treat everyone with

LOVE.

 

Because when you live like that:

In the mirror it won’t just be you.

Within yourself will be all of those people’s whos lives you

CHANGED.
