I think we'd all be a lot happier
if we admired the view instead of looking at it
if we strolled the street instead of jogging it
if we tasted food instead of consuming it
if we sipped on wine instead of chugging it
if we treasured love instead of ******* it
if we paused every single day
if we listened instead of talking about it
as if today was the only day as
if

"Hey-
You wore that shirt yesterday"

(Said the other classmate he has no idea what he is saying how much he is
hurting that my family is living in a shelter and we barely have
quarters for food much less laundry and if I so much as got a stain on
this one shirt I have clean my mom would beat me when I get back to our
room I don't even like this color it's yellow it was my brothers they
took so much with the foreclosure I wish I could never wear this shirt
again I wish you and school and everything would just go away and I
could lay down in my own bed and play my own video games and read my own
books and sleep just rest like you who have the privilege to taunt me)

"Hey-
Shut up"
