I was beating him in the head, again and again, again and again, the wet thump of fist on flesh and bone, the bite and tears of the concrete into him. Blood spurted from what was left of his face as I growled, my vision dim and red. He wouldn’t hurt anyone ever again. He’d be an example for everyone like him.
Strong arms lifted me off his shattered frame, and I was flipped over, cuffed roughly, a...

Thomas Meers looks out of the window of the bus, watching the outside world blur around him. He’ll be officially starting 12th grade when he makes it to the school. He isn’t afraid, he just doesn’t want his Summer to end.
It has been so much **fun**.

Kaveh stood in front of his father, face red with frustration. “Listen, I—“
“There you go again, getting mad over nothing! Keep that tone down, young man.“ _Cutting me off mid-sentence again?_ He looked down at his hands, unconsciously peeling at his cuticles with his short finger-nails. That as well was one of the habits he was constantly nagged for, but at the moment, he guessed his parents had ...
People are slow to listen
Yet dont hesitate to speak
When someone says something “ bad”
Words from other mouths begin to leak
No one thinks about actions
Nor considers their words
As soon as they don’t like it
All thoughts fly over like birds
She misses those old days
The days when she was a kid
Not being hated nor laughed at
Not judged for the things she did
Now she’s grown up
Everyone’s now d...
It’s always so easy to judge from and outside looking in but not so easily understood from those inside looking out. The world is a cruel place, that much I have learned even at a young age it was instilled into me and my brothers that there are always to be those who take and those who give. I am most fortunate to have been engaged to one who gives, but too often do I see her give so much and nev...
Everybody wants to judge,
but nobody wants to listen.
When egos fall
and eyes glisten.
Notice how he never said
anything to provoke anyone,
but he just got beaten,
and, about it, nothing is done.
He once stood tall
and jumped before a thought
could pop into his beautiful head,
but now it’s after he fought.
No one tells his story
because words are just words.
And they prefer action.
They don’t k...

I huff.
“Everybody wants to judge, but nobody want to listen…” I mumble, throwing a headphone in my ear and walking away.
I hear my best friend behind me, her voice silencing the further I get.
I didn’t tell the police about the interaction or who it was because… because… Caleb is my friend. Yeah. He’s my friend.
I’ll prove to everyone I can be a good, loyal friend. I did it in kind...
Everybody wants to judge, but no one wants to listen,
I try my best to get above but then I sink right back in,
I’m doing good I’m doing great, suddenly I’m down again,
Don’t know why but anyway, I’ll find a sooner end,
Make sure anxiety stays silent, no more of this fighting
Keeping my thoughts quiet, even if it doesn’t end I’ll at least keep trying...
