Words Cut Like Knives

The impossible: a world without hate

A world without judgement

A world without pain.

When people hurt themselves because cruel people put them down,

it's "stupid". 

Why would you hurt yourself because someone was messing with you?

Why would you make yourself bleed when they're only joking with you? 

Why would you leave scars on your arms, or legs, just because you took a joke too seriously?

Imagine this: 

Every name you've ever been called,

every time someone made you feel like trash,

every time someone punched you or shoved you,

every time someone did something that hurt you emotionally.

Imagine every single thing that someone did to hurt you left a physical scar on your skin.

My entire body would be made up of scars.

So instead of telling someone to stop harming themselves,

take into consideration that they might be doing it because of how you treat them.

Correct yourself before you try to correct other people.

Words cut like knives,

and knives cut like knives.

But the words control the knives, and make them do the cutting.

Think about that
