Those words you said
The hate you spread,
That made her take her life.
The mean words all caught up inside
They tangled around her heart,
They whispered softly "jump my dear,
The rope is just a start."
Twenty years later and you still don't know
The effect that you had,
when the next day she didn't show.
You thought she was scared;
But she's not an open book.
You were blind-
And that was just the hook.

I think I'm going to add more to this later, but I'm going to bed now. It's been so long since I've last posted): but I wanted to write a poem like this, addressing the effects hateful speech can have on others. Please stay strong<3
