It's easy to write about stuff everyone feels
The things a crowd likes to hear
What's hard is writing what isn't popular or 'nice'
Where some might think some restraint would suffice
But it's things that are needed that save the souls
And words go unheeded that don't nourish the bones
Don't tell them what they want to hear
Give them the things they don't often feel
Tell them they're wrong when you can do it with love
Because they just don't hear straight truth enough.

Listen you all,
Big or small,
To the words of a fellow human,
To whom my thoughts are only blooming,

With my eyes I see,
People smile with glee,
With my eyes I observe,
People who constantly live on nerve,

With my ears I listen to,
Some speak of affection that grew,
With my ears I hear,
Words that make me shead a tear,

With my nose I find the scent,
Of every love letter I've sent,
With my nose I smell,
The odors of hell,

With my tongue I speak,
Of all the good times that happened this week,
With my tongue I talk,
Of things that I mock,

With my hands I touch,
Everything that I like so much,
With my hands I feel,
All the pain I can't heal,  

On being human,
It's living,
As a breathing,
Contradiction.
We are all living, breathing, contradictions.

So many questions in my head,
feel like I'm dangling from a thread.
Shadows fall all around
this new starry-eyed light I've found.

The world's warm.
The timings right.
Who's to say your smile's not what I'll need on these cold, cold nights?

I want this eternal Summer,
where we can stay longer,
And everything I need to hear,
Has already been said.

But I need the words,
To hear the sounds,
that will assure me to these feelings found.
Please don't say you need me
You only need food, water, shelter and clothing to survive.

Please don't say you want me
I am not food for your lust.

Please don't say you will die for me
I'll ask you to jump off the cliff right away.

Please don't say you will follow me
I don't need a stalker.

Please don't say you will protect me
Because it makes you a hypocrite.

Please don't say you love me
I am not ready for another heartbreak.

there once was a wizzpopping cat
who fell in a tunnel like that
he flew in the air
like he just didn't care
and that was the end of that

Say what you mean,
but say it without being mean.
Who am I kidding? I am always so terribly mean. Oops!

You think you're tough enough?
To leave bruises on the others' body
To make a scar on the others' face

You think you're perfect?
To insult the others
Saying their existence is a ******* jokes

Do you proud of it?
Does it worth?

What did you gained?
Satisfaction?
Victory?

From your deepest heart
Don't you feel sorry for them?
They're physically and mentally
Broken by you

And you
Laughing at them
Saying they deserve this?

Is there
No humanity
Live inside you?

People like you guys
Don't deserve to be called human
Neither be called animal
'Cause animal isn't as devil as you

Just remember
This world is round
What goes around
Comes around
So, for the bullies
Please stop
'Cause it's hurt be the victims
