Poem #38// They Themselves

People hurt people because
They themselves have been hurt.

People make people insecure because
They themselves are scared.

People push people around because
They themselves are forced to do it too.

People make people cry because
They don't want to cry themselves.

People are angry.
And people are sad.
So they take it out on us because
They also have no one who will listen.
They are just as alone as we are.

And that is what we tend to forget.
