Chapter 1
Stop and think:
before you speak, your sharp tongue may cut someone’s wrist tonight.
Stop and think:
Who else saw the wink? You know what I mean, the one you gave as a go to play the prank? You thought it was harmless, no one would care. You thought your actions no impact would bear. You didn’t see the heart breaking in half, how could you-why would you? No responsibility, who cares!
Stop and think:
before you conspire, what damage will you do? It’s harmless she said, our laugh no one knows what, or whom it’s about. Don’t worry secrets arent meant to be kept, that’s what they say right? A secret between 2 of us is only a secret if one of us is dead, right?
Stop and think:
before you wink at the person to your right before playing a prank. You thought it was harmless, no one would care. You thought your actions no impact would bear. You didn’t see the heart breaking in half, how could you-why would you? No responsibility, who cares!
Stop and think:
before you conspire, what damage will you do? It’s harmless she said, our laugh to share harmless they repeat with a light chuckle in the air.
Stop and think:
if kindness was spread instead of hatred, what kind of world would we be leaving for our children?
Stop and think:
Has the person I hurt been up all night writing a silly poem that kind of rhymes? Please God forgive them they know not what they do....or do they? My heart is aching, and so is my body and soul. I became disabled in 2013 when I was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder which also causes psychosis. I have trouble with communication, emotions, am in constant pain which is enough to give me more than 13 reasons, but when I start getting excluded from things, played small practical inside jokes that i’m on the outside of and talked about it hurts. I try to be kind to everyone and just love with my whole heart, but it’s never enough. I’m never enough. My amazing daughter keeps me going, but the pain keeps growing.
Stop and think what kind of pain physical pain tolls on someone emotionally. I can’t even express when I don’t feel well anymore to anyone. Why? Because basically I never feel well, so if i did I would say it all the time and no one really cares, so it’s like talking to a wall of annoyed paint drying. I can’t complain or express what is wrong bc I become Nancy negative. I feel so alone, i’m alone in pain, alone in friendships, and alone emotionally. I can’t physically reconnect to my husband and he feels that and I feel the pressure from that. I feel like i’m being held under water.
Stop and think:
Before you help drown a person you didn’t want to die. Spread love not hate. Learn to say no and stick up for people. It’s nice to be nice. It actually is free to not be a shitty person. Trust me I’ve been trying it. That person you chose to bully or exclude, someone loves that person with everything they have, that heart you chose to bully is that mother’s heart and soul and you just broke another heart bc of that sharp tongue. Next time before you speak....
Stop and Think
