"lol you retard."
"Ugh, I'm just so depressed right now."
"I just wanna die hahahah."
No.
Stop.
Stop abusing the words
That some friends hold close
The words true for them,
Truer than most.
When you misuse them,
Careless and dumb,
You cry wolf for those
You hold under your thumb.
Held under your thumb
By your dismiss of words
Words and their power,
Which is sometimes not heard.
So be careful next time
For the retarded
The depressed
The suicidal
Because you are fine
And they are not.
That really bothers me, when people misuse words. "Stop bullying me hahaha" used as a joke. "I'm so fat/ so skinny" when there are people out there who legitimately struggle with their weight.
I'm not telling you to not use these phrases; I don't know if they're true or not for you. I'm just asking you to evaluate them before using them, does this really apply to you? Is this accurate? Maybe, I don't know. But when you use them and they're not, it puts the people who they do describe in a tough position. Their words, their cries for help, are not heard because they're just the trendy thing to say these days.
And that bothers me.
