what if i stopped hearing beautiful melodies and voices over microphones?
what if i just turned off all of my emotions and became a mute
never speaking, because i never have anything important to say
or i just stop feeling
become numb with hatred towards everyone
because people with words need to learn how to use them
because words can make people blind
and blind people don't need to be throwing stones
because you never know where glass houses may lay
words are now the uni-bombs of today
blow up one, destroy with it
and you can end up being the reason
the reason a girl goes home crying
feels worthless
grabs anything
sharp
and tells herself how much she hates herself
and just slashes her wrist
once, twice
she loses count
you can end up being the reason she goes too deep
one, two,
breathing slows
she tries to stop it
she realizes she didn't want this
but she signed her death wish in blood
you gave her the papers
you gave her the motivation
with
words
because you were to blind to... see your ways
you made her too numb to feel
