Kill Yourself

 

Kill Yourself

 

TRIGGER WARNING:

SUICIDE TALK

 

You don't like how they express themselves

On a thread on Facebook or Tumblr or Twitter

So you sling mud in their direction

 

In your fervor to prove that you're right

You harass them long into the night

 

Eventually, you come to the crossroads

Where something tells you to stop this

Maybe something in you realizes that you could really hurt them

Do you let your better self shine through?

Or do you push them into the thorns?

 

You think you really have them now

You zero in like an owl hunting a mouse

Only you are something far worse

For birds have no ill intent

They are only satiating their hunger

 

Perhaps the next day

As the sun rose in the sky

You found out that they took your words to heart

 

KILL YOURSELF

 

When you find out that they committed suicide

Because of your bullying

Will you then feel remorse?

 

Or will you snuff out the last of your humanity at that moment

Crushing your regret

As you would stomp down a budding crocus pushing through the snow

On the grave of one who committed suicide because of you?

DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO KILL THEMSELVES!

THEY JUST MIGHT TAKE IT TO HEART.
