To those
Who find it ok to hit and kick
When sad
Or mad
Or something else
You are sorely wrong

To those
Who find it ok
To spew words of hurt and destruction
For your entertainment
You are sorely wrong

For I am here to tell you
That what you say and do
To the ones you harm
They Leave wounds
Not on their bodies
But in their hearts, minds and souls

At first they're small
At first they're fixable
They patch them up with a band-aid
Or duck tape
Or something
And they're ok

Then you throw more hurt and destruction their way
And it leaves more wounds
Soon there are too many to fix with a band-aid
They're using super glue, now
But you break it again
Before the glue has a chance to dry

Now, now they are missing pieces
Still using super glue, desperately hoping it will stay
Hoping someone will see and help
No one comes

They give up trying to fix themselves
They have lost hope
As they shatter
Now to broken to fix
Wishing for death

Finally they leave the world
Finally they find peace

They left this world because of you
I hope you're happy
I hope you can live with yourself
Knowing you caused this
