Words Hurt

Them: You’re ugly
Me: I know
Them: You’re so stupid
Me: Okay
Them: You’re a terrible friend
Me: I agree
Them: Kill yourself
Me: Would that make you happy?
Them: What?
Me: Would me killing myself make you happy?
Them: I would be ecstatic
Me: Okay

A Month Later

Them: …I didn’t think she would actually do it…

Author's Note

People say "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me" but, words hurt just as much and that's a scar that'll never go away...be careful what you say to people even if you don't like them. It doesn't matter who you're talking to you should never cross the line and go so far as telling someone to kill themselves because you never know if they'll actually do it. Please be careful of what you say and be kind, not cruel.

The world had became ugly. Our leaders (Republicans) said you are a monster if you were different. This is wrong. 50 years ago. We didn't ask personal question. People, were just people. Your generation is changing our world. You must. Old generation gave-up our freedoms to decide our own life. Powerful and honest poetry. We cannot allow men of hatred and fear to run our world. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Sounds like a phone dialogue. We might have been better off without those machines.

honestly i agree and being born in the generation that kinda "depends" on electronics i could honestly live without it all and being 16 of course no one believes me when i say that but i haven't had my phone for 3 years and i'm perfectly fine without it
