I wanted to write something for all of the shy, socially awkward people out there. Our thoughts often not shared with the world because of the fears that clash with our feelings, opinions, and comments. Just because we aren't heard, doesn't mean we don't exist.
I am silent like a cat,
eyes wide and on edge,
stalking the world like prey.
The words I wish to speak
are only silenced by the tongue
in my mouth-
afraid that the words I speak
will only be shut down by those around.
You see, we live in a world now where
the words people speak are only shut down
by spitting venom, hoping to kill the enemy.
You're an idiot.
Go to Hell.
Stupid bitch.
Sometimes the words we want to say
are hidden by our tongue.
We are shy, socially awkward, and living in a world
where people are mean if your opinion is different.
Of course we aren't going to speak.
Why would we?
The world we live in are full of those
that would rather spread hate than love.
Like our President.
The comment section in Youtube videos.
Even our politically or religiously involved family members.
Telling you that you are wrong or "too young to understand".
We have been silenced not just by our own confidence,
but because our confidence has been pushed down
by those who don't like to be told that they are wrong.
Our world, despite how poorly it's been going,
need to learn to love one another.
Support your friends who may believe in something else.
Who love a movie that you hate.
Think the color yellow is the best.
Support them and the words they speak.
Now that doesn't mean that disagreements
aren't suppose to happen.
Or we are supposed to not have the same thoughts.
But if you are causing harm,
or spitting out ugly words,
all because of a different opinion,
rethink the way you handle this.
Because we are out here.
Those who words are still spinning in our mind,
waiting for the right moment,
to sneak up,
and attack our prey-
like the cat,
chasing the mouse.
