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...
Everybody wants to judge but nobody wants to listen. Why on Gods green earth is it social norm to wear fabric around your arms when it’s 90 degrees outside. My pits are blazing like the rest of my body. I’m emitting an uncomfortable amount of liquid and don’t want it captured in some seersucked shortsleeve. Summer is not an excuse to use clothing as a rain barrel. Set the sweat free and let me be....
Warning! SH mentions!
Everyone wants to judge
But no one wants to listen
“Attention seeker” they say
“Main character” they say
My tear stained pillows
Matched with green and blue thighs
Tell a tougher story
Than you could ever realize
The temptation to cut
Makes me think they’re right
That I look for reasons
To just start a fight
I fought the urge
The calling of the knife
But I gave in d...
