Try listenig, mybe you'll understand
Has anyone actually listend to the words people say? Realized how much pain they are in?
I know I didn't. At least... not for a long time.
I do now though. Even to the lyrics of music.
Each word spoken/sang has a true meaning, even though they all always seem to be hidden. Such as this lyric by P.O.D
" But who knew that this day wasn’t like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest
Call me blind, but I didn’t see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn’t hear nothing
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don’t really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class.
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love.
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged"
See the Culumbine shootings blew peoples worlds up. But did people ever think about the kids who did it? lets back track to a special part of those lyrics...
"Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged"So many people, seem stuck in their own little world, trying to fit in, and being perfect. or hell, having an awesome life.
What about the kids who noone knew? Noone ever cared about?
Everyday I cry when I get home, because I'm one of those kids.
I go to school, sit alone not being talked too. No body to talk too. Noone cares. Only thing differnt about me and the kids who shot up Columbine is... I have a voice inside of my head saying it cares.
Basically whatI mean by that is that I have myself. They wanted people...
Hey I want 'em too. but yeah. This isnt really my point. This isnt talk about me or my problems. This is talk about the worlds ignorance.
People go on by, forgetting that they are hurting others. And once someone else teases them they get all mad.
But why? I mean, they turn around and do it their selves.Now answer me these. In your head of course.
Havent you ever felt alone? Differnt from the world? Like you just don't belong?
Has someone ever told you you wont make it, and can't excel?
Hasn't someone made you feel so worthless, that you just wanted to die from the hurt that they caused?
Now... if yes to any or all of those ... Answer me these.
Did you ever make fun of someone? At any point of your life? Even if it was just a joke? If so, did you ever think about the pain you just caused them? Can't you relate the pain you went through to the one you just caused?
I mean. Realize this. You were a joke to the world at least once. or felt like it.
Saying that its wrong for them to make fun of you, or even joke about it.
But then you do it. Do you ever feel bad? I know I would.
So I made it a point to talkto people at my school who are being made fun of.
In case you havent noticed, I just poured out a life time of pain here and all in such a short paragraph.
I am one of those kids who are always hurting. Being made fun of...
I've done my share of hurting. And jokes. But I did make sure I apoligized.
Because a lot of kids hurt from kids who... we catorgize as a prep.
Now to go about a journal I read.
Girls saying "Like" a lot, or"Oh my God" or just not knowing a few things. Like what sex is.
People called her a prep, a dumb ass, a stupid pathetic moron. Ever think those words hurt her? Or maybe thats just who she is. So she talks how she wants. Maybe its her personality. So we make fun of her because she seems like she has no sense. She want making fun of anyone. Or hurting anyone. Sure sometimes she said she wanted to be goth... but she wanted to fit in. We ALL want to fit in. Have people like us for us. But because of people who make fun of "posers" and "Preps" its to hard to fit in. We all must be something like everyone else. So we all sit in our own little world.
Now I'm not saying all "preps" are actually innocents of pain. Maybe some really DO fit in with their crowds. And they make fun of people.
But let us remember ... the "goths" and "freaks" and "bnerds" that they made fun of, have made fun of the "preos" as well. So its just a cycle. A never ending one at that.
But wouldn't it be nice if we could all just accept eachother? Not discriminate against each other? I sure think so. Don't you?
