The Sin We Live in

"There’s mystery behind every closed door, no one knows what goes on behind it. You are what you see, but most will leave it alone… afraid of the truth. Don't be blind from the truth, you have Eyes...you can see. You don’t just wake up one day and say “Today I'm going to be a Bully”"
 

Confidence been shattered,
tainted by the words you say,
feeling as though, defeated,
memories linger on today.
Isolated, can’t move forward,
from her inner-self, inside her head,
aware on what’s to haunt her,
prisoner of all words said.
The easiest way is to forget,
How can we create a world so evil?
Violence, crime all human life,
has our race become the devil?
A living nightmare to survive,
you walk inside the shadows.
Paranoid of every sound,
alone, you isolate the pain of long ago.
Rid the shame, your head can’t get it out,
sometimes the violence becomes too much,
as your feeling broken down.
Sometimes feeling like you’re not enough,
sinking deeper underground.
The many cries for help,
yet nobody would listen,
deteriorated health.
Thought it was only for attention,
please understand and recognize
this isn’t only when your young.
It’s not always about religion, race or weight,
or the gossip you heard from everyone.
It’s a worker at your job,
an intimate moment gone viral
Jealousy gone far too wrong,
opinions differ, turn hostile.
It’s battles in a broken home,
that make a bully’s name,
you don’t know what's behind closed doors.
It’s like a  mystery in a game,
Maybe all they do
Is what is done to them
Could it be that they are hurting too
Maybe they just need a friend
Such rumors did destroy her.
Words made her ashamed,
of self image, anyone in general.
Begin to feel weak,  and inferior,
secrets hidden, silenced in fear.
No voice, silent on the inside,
for every word becomes a scar.
Only digs at her from within,
that not a day goes by,
left reminded of the bullying,
so much she wished herself to die.
How could we let this happen?
Accept her choice to end her life,
when all it takes is just a second,
to give some life changing advice.
