As I sit an contemplate my paths
I wonder why people cant just leave others be
Many of my friends are hurting
Because of a few who find it necessary to
Spread rumours that are only meant to hurt.
Maybe they have not heard that
What goes around comes around
You reap from what you sew
That this sort of action in the long run will
Whip back and do damage ten fold on them.
No matter how badly done by I may feel
I would not want to inflict any off that back
More I would look to myself to see why someone
Felt the need to treat me that way
So you who feel the need to
Vent your anger and feelings by undermining
The lives of others look into yourselves first
And make sure that the venom was not home grown
To my friends who have been hurt
Just know that its not you they attack
But they are just showing everyone
How much blackness has entered their own hearts
Harshness towards others
Does not solve anything
A touch of kindness
On the other hand can move a mountain
