.
they tell you "just be yourself."
but then they criticize you for who you really are.

they tell you to speak your mind.
but then they tell your that your opinion doesn't matter
and that you are wrong.

society shouldn't control us.
society doesn't even know what society is doing to us.

others
tearing us down, then building us back up.
all to tear us down one last final time.
but the last time, we cant build ourselves back up.
this is how we lose innocent people to suicide.

how does one live with the fact
that they told someone to **** themselves
and they actually do it?
to me, thats like ******.

hating on someone else
doesn't make you any better.
tearing people down won't pull you up.

people have feelings. people care.
its impossible to ignore someone telling you
that you dot deserve to live.

how do you even say that to a person?
how can someone mean that?
nothing is worth a life.
telling someone that stays with them forever.

30 years from now,
they will probably remember someone
calling them *******. or telling them to die.
you think that doesn't stick with someone?
you think they get over it?

they don't.
think about it:
telling someone to die
is literally saying to them
that they don't deserve to grow up
and make a family
and be happy.
you're saying that they don't deserve to breathe.
telling someone to **** themselves
makes them feel like they should.
all
because
of one person
telling them to die.

dont underestimate yourself.
spread kindness.
