[Yesterday]
I am surrounded by Individuals laughing
And sharing jokes.
But
Me and them were still ignoring the fact that
The people in front of us were only there to help -
Help us see a choice that could happen if we do
Make that one wrong choice.
And I do honestly fear -
Fear that one will still make that one wrong choice
And hurt someone in the process.
--
But today -
Today was an eye opener to say the least.
And at first it was painless and jokes were said.
But
There he was
An actual person
Speaking to us.
A person who experienced something so horrific
That you -
Yourself wish to never experience..
Ever.
And now tears were had and hugs were shared.
And a silence began.
Everyone was silent.

And I too was silent.
Most probably did not listen to them...but you just got to hope they did.
