If it’s only a joke why does it sting? If it’s only a joke why do you make it personal? A joke shouldn’t be something used as a hateful thing. Jokes are supposed to be something we can look back on and laugh at; Not be ashamed because we were made insecure by a few words. Make it make sense Jokes are supposed to be lighthearted and something for a laugh. Not to make people feel ashamed. “Oh! Remember when you started-“ It’s not a joke. We’re not laughing. But you are. It’s not a joke so stop saying it after an insult because it’s not a joke.

Idk just inspired off of a video I seen and wanted to make my own. Don’t remember the girl that made the poem sadly.
