It’s amazing how much someone’s actions, words, can affect a person.
A kind gesture, a mean one, they all count to something.
Leave someone smiling early on a Monday,
Or crying on the weekend.
We don’t realize sometimes
I think.
I hope
That would speak volumes for humanity.
Our humbleness
The extent of our cruelty.
The fact one look, one word
Can build up, or tear apart a persons day
Is scary and powerful knowledge.
Do we really mean to repeatedly admonish a human?
Or is it just error
Negative thoughts being expressed wrongly
We all have them you know
Negative thoughts towards a person.
But if we knew just how we were expressing them
Would we stop?
Or maybe we do know
But don’t realize how much it hurts
How much it does matter.
I’ve been there.
Crying because of a bad look someone gave me
Especially if I know why.
You don’t have to say anything
Because I already know.
I’ve been on the other side too.
The saying actions speak louder then words
Is true.
Don’t be that person
That person trying to ignore the truth
The truth that what you are doing
Is deeply scaring someone else.
Don’t ignore it
Because the expression of this negativity
Puts you higher up on someone else’s list
Popularity, approval.
Is it really worth it?
Worth hurting someone
Tearing them down to build your self up.
We have all heard that before
But think it is directed to others
Others with deep routed issues
Hurting people so they can feel their pain.
It is but its also directed to all of you,
Trying to climb the social ladder
And stepping on people on your way up
Or to defend your spot their.
Cruel.
Ignorant.
Arrogant.
Mean.
That’s what you are when you do this
And exactly what you don’t want to be
Think about it.
Because high school will end
Don’t look back thinking
Wow, I acted like such an ass
So others would like me.
