Spit

This is about bullying and stupidity

Stupid.

Retard.

Dumbass.

These are the words that they use without thinking a second thought.

The words they spit out of their mouths to let you know

“Hey, we’re better than you.”

They say these things with such intensity you start to believe.

You start to believe all things anyone’s ever said to you

to make you feel like you’re worthless

Nothing

Just skin and bones with no substance,

No capability for independent thought,

No views on the world or how it became this way.

The way that a man can spit on another man

Who has the same right, 

The same dreams,

The same capabilities,

Yet make him feel like he’s lower than the fish in depths of the ocean.

The terms that define us will never be what those people spit

But what the ones we know,

Who know us,

Who love us for who we are,

Who will never spit at us.

Spit will only destroy us if we allow it to enter our hearts,

Because we need to realize that those who spit don’t know.

They don’t know how we think

Yes,

Despite what they spit, 

We do think.

No matter how much or how often they spit at us

We will never allow it to define who we are.

Because if we do then our hearts become acid that slowly corrodes us from the inside out until we can no longer breath and the light at the end of the tunnel becomes dimmer and dimmer until all that surrounds us is the spit of all those god damn kids who refuse to look twice or lend a helping hand to the kid who, they themselves, drowned. 

Spit will never take over who we are. 

As long as we continue to fight and say

“You’re no better than me.”

Only then can we truly be dry. 

The people who never even consider

That what they do will destroy the ones who let it

Will forever go on to believe that they’re good.

When it’s, in fact, us who will forever, 

While tainted in the worlds eye,

Be pure in the hearts of the one’s who matter to us. 

“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” shouldn’t be an expression it should be the way of living for every single human being on this planet. 

Even though no one realizes what kind of magnitude a simple phrase can have. 

We will never escape the spit we can just choose whether or not it bounces off or pierces our hearts. 

Yet after all the words we say 

Some refuse it to be true

Some refuse to believe.

To them words of defiance is just false hope.

To them there is only one escape 

But we can’t let them take it because we know they’re blinded by their own refusal to accept.

We can be real humans and help the drowning ones swim. 

We can be the change we wish to see in the world. 

And maybe even 

One day

We can change spit into help.
