Whispers

I hear the whispers.

I hear the judgmental tone.

"He's gay?" "She's lesbian?" "He cuts?" "She starves herself?"

Then they ask, they pry, they want to know why. What makes you do such things.

Then the ones with a brain and common sense looks away from the insensitive and sigh while shaking their head.

The brainless looks confused, obviously not knowing what they did. They feel they did nothing wrong.

"I only asked a question." they think but in the end the question isn't what makes someone feel judged. The question isn't the problem.

It's the tone.

It's the judgement.

It's the whispers.

Beautifully and realistically highlighted the cynicism of society, people usually fall upon query to just avoid the brutal accusation that falls upon their soul after someone commits suicide, to run away from blame, they resort to superficial questions, not understanding, that their tone, their choice of verbs and adjectives, cannot hide their reality. Great piece.

So sad and devastatingly true. People shouldn't judge and whisper. They should show compassion and love and offer an ear or a hug.... or better yet, be a friend. I will never fully understand why people act the way they do. Thank you for sharing this truth. Hugs! < 3
