I felt the tears run down my face.

What would happen now?

I looked up and saw everyone staring.

Daniel looked mortified as he sank to the back of the crowd.

Typical.

The one boy I had a crush on, of course.

A teacher came rushing through the hall.

“Miss Adaline, I’m sorry but we cannot accept this behavior. I’m calling your mother, come.”

I bowed my head as I followed her out of the room.

Again.

F...

I follow Aphrodite. Then I realized. I'm about to meet the god of the underworld. And he probably wasn't going to give me cupcakes.

He gave me cupcakes.

When I walked through the abandoned building doors I was immediately attacked. A dog mixed with a demon of some sort lunged at me. I cried. In pain. And fear. Then it licked me. The Hellhound licked me. I'm popular. Then it grabbed me by the sh...

Everyone wants to judge, but nobody wants to listen.

They’d much rather judge the cover of a book they’ve never written

I mean, there I was fighting off generational curses & my own troubles while all they did was smirk, laugh & mock the very painI had to endure.

No respect, no remorse.

They just kept kicking me while I was down.

I've been through so much! At the very hands of people who c...

Everybody wants to judge

But nobody wants to listen

They judge

And laugh

And make fun of

EVERYONE

Besides themselves

They talk behind backs

Even though

The one being talked about

Is right there

They never listen

Or care at all

They yap over everyone

No care i n the world

About what we have to say

We have feelings

So do they

But they’re the center of attention

In a good way

Like always

“Everybody wants to judge, but nobody wants to listen.”

Abdullah leaned against the bus stop bench, his hands shoved deep in the pockets of his oversized jacket, feeling the weight of everyone’s eyes on him. They didn’t even try to hide it. The whispers, the sideways glances—they were all so predictable. He could almost hear what they were saying: Another one of those guys, too much of a coward t...

I had “served my debt to society”. I know logically what that means and how it’s intended. Too bad the actuality of how society sees it doesn’t align with the intention. Like a dog that bites once, I’m never to be trusted again. Only it’s unethical to euthanize humans when there may be the same factors at play. Provocation, fear, self-defense. Those can get a human a sentence that doesn’t end in d...

Do you judge a book by its cover

Do you judge someone by the way they look

Why do people judge when they don’t know what’s inside

How can they be so cruel

Sometimes we need to be kind

Try to listen to what they say

You don’t know what their going through

Try to understand them

It’s a lot to ask

But be better then most of our world

Cause everyone wants judge

But nobody wants to listen

Ho...

_listen to me_ I scream

_i deserve to be heard aswell_

_i need somebody to tell me it’s okay_

_i need to know it’s not just me_

the words in my head need release,

but nobody wants to listen.

They judge,

They judge and judge and judge.

But nobody listens.

Lend me your ear for a moment.

One moment.

I do not need your pity,

I do not need your charity.

I merely need to be heard.

To be listened to.

_p...

Listening,

Is an art.

But no one,

Wants to speak.

I searched that up one day, curious to see if my name would match up with who I was. It did with most people. Most people with parents who could look into their eyes and see what they would become. Apparently, my late parents looked into my eyes as well. I don’t know what they thought when they saw me as an infant, ...
