If someone falls do you hear their cries
Or do you only hear the other lies
Why they did
Why they don't
Why they so graciously lost their hope
But there's always someone who sees them fall
If you're thee, can I ask if you cared at all
Did you help when you saw them crawl
Losing their breath trying to stand tall
But wait just stop cause if you cared
Would you really let them drown in stares
Worried, sick of these words
Like grenades in a battlefield
Yet were still unheard and
You can't tell me there isn't a ring in your mind
Telling you that
This is wrong
This isn't right
This isn't how you're supposed to cope with life
You're supposed to
Reach out to the needed
Help up the hurt
Not push them down till their no longer heard
You made them to scared to be told that
They are kind
They are good
They are beautiful inside and out
Now they only hear the words of hate telling them that
They are dumb
They are weak
They are too lame to speak
You made them believe they weren't loved
They reject whoever asked if they needed a hug
And trust me, they wanted to say yes
They wanted to reach out and rest
But they were told ever since they were kids that
Word are just words
They can't crawl under your skin
What a lie
The biggest to be told
Words they metastasize, turn into mold
Keep you on hold from seeing who you are
Because,
sure you might be different
But you are who you are
And that's what should be told
So if someone falls and you hear their cries
Help them up
Before there cries metastasize
