9.4.14

Society,
So judgmental. So quick to jump at others
But they don’t know everything about others like they think they do.
Always assuming something,
Judging and tearing each other down
It’s what we do right?
A form of self-defense, a common excuse.
Words and actions can hurt.
The pain is real.
People are killing each other and betraying one another.
Where is the trust and loyalty that we so commonly look for in a person?
The hurtful things that we say to one another in order to tear each other down.
Someone is different and they are looked down on.
They are swindled into believing that they are “below” everyone else.
Everyone just wants to be treated equality.
To feel as if they belong.
But that’s not always the case.
But there are kind people in the world you might say.
Perhaps there is.
But most just observe this problem and remain silent.
Where is the love and the compassion that we seek?
Domestic violence, verbal and physical.
Since when did the “I love yous” turn into fists and arguments
When did we stop protecting each other and start being purposely hurtful?
Why is love dying?
Does this generation even know what love is?
Black and White.
White vs. Black.
We are so quick to hate.
Belittling comments and actions that can potentially scar others.
Some have such a negative effect on others, that they take their own lives.
It slips under the radar, some people never know.
Some cover their face in shame every day.
Wanting to be someone else.
Wanting something someone else has.
Others just want to be noticed,
For someone to be proud of them.
Others just sneak on by and go through the motions.
The same routine happens every day.
People break down at night.
So quietly that no one is able to hear them,
To know the pain that they are expressing.
The pain is real for them, it’s what they feel every single day.
But then they wake up the next morning,
And put that mask on their face.
Again.

That is imperfection at its finest.
