How to be a decent person

August 24, 2015

Don't revel in the terror in my eyes
Don't bask in the glow of my pain
Don't survive on the cruelty and lies
Don't make wounds that forever will remain

Don't relish the sound of my crying
Don't rejoice at the scars on my arm
Don't smile when you know how I'm dying
Don't do things that worsen the harm

Don't ask me why I look so sad
Don't ask me if I'm doing okay
Don't tell me it isn't so bad
You didn't go through what I did today

Don't assume you know
When you really do not
Don't pretend to be a pro
When you don't have my lot

Don't put me below you
When we are just the same
Don't tell me to make do
Don't tell me not to blame

Stop judging so fast
Don't assume right away
If this message was my last
This is all I have to say

Always be kind
Give warmth and give love
There will come a time
You'll be repaid up above

Give a hug to a friend
Sing someone a song
A heart you can mend
By making them feel they belong

You can change the world
By doing something small
You can make the difference
By thinking about all

So what are you waiting for?
