words you don't use
I can't use
certain
words
Because they offend
certain
people.
Do we want to do this?
Do you want to
start this game?
If I went around telling people
they can't use
certain
words.
No one would talk to me.
In my short life
I've had many things
go terribly wrong.
But I don't tell people
what they can't joke about
that they can't even use the words.
So do you really want to start this?
I don't take offense at your off color jokes
The ones that actually do hurt
When you joke about "emo" kids
Because they're the ones who cut themselves
Because only stupid people cut
When you joke about shooting yourself
Because you don't want to do something
Because something is difficult
When you joke about so many sensitive topics
You risk hurting someone else
But you preach that already
I expect that if you censor me
I have the right to do the same
Isn't that how it works now?
So next time I say something
That you don't
agree
with
Bite your tongue or prepare yourself
You either accept what I say
Or you stop making sensitive subject jokes
Because you'll have to deal with my hurt.
