Learn to Listen
You stand there accusingly
Saying rude things
Spouting nonsense
About breaking necks
About ****
Childhood and pain
Yet you don't know
About their past
You don't know
The pain they endured
The suffering they bare
Or the sorrow in their heart
Learn to open yourself up
Before you speak ill
Because what if they
Were ***** as a child
What if their mother
Curb stomped them
What if the only sense
Of peace is death
What if life is meaningless
What if everytime
They see a van
They freak out hysterically
What if a pitbull comes charging
Do you think they run
Or do you think freeze
Right in their tracks
What if they scream at night
From the dreams they get
Or cry themselves to sleep
Because they don't know what love is
What if their pain
Is so great
That the only way
They can express it
Is to hold it in
And never let it show
For fear that
It shows great weakness
You have no idea
What other's stories are
So before you judge or laugh
Take the time to know theirs
